Update on Jacob

Jacob has been able to keep his temperature up this afternoon and has not had to stay in the nursery since last night.  They have run a couple of blood tests (one this morning and another this afternoon) because Jacob’s blood counts (don’t ask which one, because I don’t know) were low in the morning.  As of 7pm tonight, everything was back to normal and he was maintaining his temperature.

He is starting to eat regularly using formula and Victoria/Jacob are working on the breastfeeding.  He seems to have a issue sucking right now and the lactation consultant said it is just because he is so “young”.  Hopefully it will all work out…if I remember correctly, we started Connor on formula due to Victoria being on anti-seizure meds when he was delivered…then he was gradually switched over to breast milk over the 2nd and 3rd week.
