Today was Archer's due date, though this date varies based on the doctor you talk to (March 25th, 26th, or 28th). He is almost four months old already, but he doesn't have the same abilities as a four month old who was born near the due date. Sometimes Mom and Dad will have to go by his "adjusted age" which begins today. He will eventually catch up to others his age in a couple of years, and it will take a lot of work from his family and therapists to help get him up to speed.
Archer's bottle feeding adventure continued by drinking all of six bottles of his last eight feedings. He slept through one feeding and drank all but 11 ml of another. This isn't to say that his feeding technique is excellent. About half the time he will pace himself and the other half the feeder has to pace for him. He is on the right track and has shown good progress in just a couple of days. The staff is becoming a little more optimistic of his potential.
Archer's oxygen level has been around 25% to 28%.
