Caden actually took a step back yesterday, and went back on the nasal cannula full time. He also spent most of the day sleeping, so they decided he should only attempt feeding by mouth once per shift. This will ensure that he doesn't use all of his calories eating. The nurses and doctors aren't at all concerned with this step back, and blame it on him being a preemie. His oxygen levels have been much more steady today than we've ever seen them, so we feel good about the changes made yesterday. He is up to 3 pounds 15.5 ounces!
We have been living at the Ronald McDonald house for the past month, and have found this to be a wonderful place. The Ann Arbor house holds 29 families, and is usually full. Each family is expected to complete a daily chore, and donate $10 per night to stay. Volunteers come in and cook a meal each night for supper.

Kitchen: There are 5 "mini-kitchens." Each family has designated fridge space in one of the fridges, as well as a locked pantry area.
We even found time to go to the Michigan vs Indiana game.
