Brendan&#8217;s weight is exactly the same as it was on Tuesday.  He was at the end of his break between feeds so he had a very empty belly today.  That can really make a difference when you only weigh 7 pounds.  The nurse was happy that there was no weight loss, and we will see what he weighs again on Monday.  A few extra days will be good to see real change.<\/p>\n<p>Because the oxygen causes Brendan&#8217;s nose to be so dry and his nasal passages to get thick, the nurses recommended hot steamy air every once in a while.  I took Brendan in to the bathroom while I ran a hot shower and steamed him for a while.  He was very comfortable in there until I opened the door to get my camera and let it the cold air.  So we have unhappy Brendan picture.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/minibat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/10b05.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19\" title=\"Week 10 - 10b05.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/minibat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/10b05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Aunt Heather #1 bought Brendan the same swing that he had in the hospital and it arrived at the door today.  It is a gentle rock vs the big swing and he really likes it.

He wants the confinement of being swaddled, but he just gets so sweaty and hot in blankets.  I found a compromise that seems to work for now.  If I put him on his side and bolster him with his nest pillow, his hands stay &#8220;centered&#8221; like the therapists want.  Gravity gives him the confinement of his arms, and his skin is able to breathe.  I would think he would be cold, but he has been sleeping comfortably like this now for an hour.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/minibat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/10b07.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19\" title=\"Week 10 - 10b07.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/minibat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/10b07.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I got the whole bed to myself, I got the whole wide bed to myself&#8221;  (Trevor got to sleep alone for a while during Brendan&#8217;s swing time)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/minibat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/10t05.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19\" title=\"Week 10 - 10t05.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/projectbat.com\/minibat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/10t05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trevor&#8217;s game<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VqbtWi8KRg0?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our home care nurse paid a visit today.
