Tonight he weighed 2320 grams (5lbs 2oz). He did very well with his feedings today and I got to feed him for the first time officially (I let him snack from a bottle before for a very short while).
He had his first hearing test today with mixed results. His left side passed but his right didn't do so well. This is actually quite common since he got the test only one day after he became eligible to get it. They'll try again in a week and expect different results.
He's back on a cannula for his oxygen. This is because he was cleared by a plastic surgeon today - meaning his nose shouldn't be affected anymore by it. They opted to go this route instead of his hood because they think the flow of oxygen around his head wasn't allowing him to stay warm enough, thus not allowing him to gain weight at a good pace.
He needs some prayers for his head as it seems to grow very slightly each day; and today was no exception. It still doesn't affect him however so we have to just grin and bear it in terms of taking any action. Pray for him to have a good day tomorrow devoid of any residual pain from his shots.
