October 8th - Day 50, 7pm

Bennett has had another good day overall. He wasn't able to breastfeed, but he did take his highest dosage yet from the bottle. He just has a lot to learn feeding-wise, so it may take some time. But, overall, he's doing quite well and those cute little cheeks continue to become bigger and bigger!
Last night he was pretty agitated and they had to give him another dose of morphine, but they haven't had to give him any more so far today. His sats and blood gases continue to be good, and his oxygen settings on the nasul cannula continue to be in the mid to low 20s. This is all very good, but hey, it's what you'd expect for a baby who's now in "NICU 2" status, huh?!
Thank you all for your love, concern, and prayers for our precious boy. He continues to do well, so we ask that you continue your prayers for his lungs, his right diaphragm, his feedings, and his neurological functions.
I don't have any update on Logan today, so please continue your prayers for him as well. Whenever he's able, I know Bennett is looking over at him and shouting words of encouragement!
We'll plan to post again tomorrow.
Love,
Travis, Kelly, and Bennett
