Salem is steadily gaining...

He gets weighed every night around 10pm... he is gaining around 24 to 27 grams...which is right around an ounce a day...(1 ounce = 28.3495231 grams) so that is GREAT!!!!

He weighs 3 pounds 3 ounces...now... and is such a little cutie...
Annie the occupational therapist is going to start evaluating him to see when he can have his first feeding via the "normal" way... a bottle, instead of what the call "gavage" feeding...
Gavage means the introduction of nutritive material into the stomach by means of a tube, which is feed through the nose and goes directly into the stomach.
looks like it could be within the week, yahooo!!!!

Salem has been praying too!
