An uneventful day

After his fitful day yesterday, Calvin was able come out and be held by Sam for a while when she wandered over in the middle of the night to see how he was doing. He's handling his introduction to milk with no problem, and there's been no sign of infection, so he can stop getting the antibiotics. He remains on the CPAP for now, and right before I left for the day he had a moment where his heart rate and oxygen saturation dropped. They gave him some time to see what he would do, and he got back up to speed without being prodded this time. The doctors and nurses have all been patiently explaining what they're doing and showing us all the data they're collecting.
