Wed December 3rd – 28 weeks Old!
Time for an update… sorry that these have been dwindling – who knew that moving involved so much work both before and after.. yeesh, But I digress… we’re here to hear about the little guy.
Updates:
Lets see, he’s still “swinging” like crazy… they have managed to get his oxygen requirements down. All that means.. is they have a machine that pumps the oxygen into his lungs… and the lower that percent is the better as it means his lungs are naturally pulling the oxygen he needs out of the surrounding air. So he’s been on 46-50% oxygen and is now down to 35 or so. So that was a long winded way of saying his lungs are getting better.
They did notice that his head was swelling a bit, so they did an ultrasound a day early – it was planned for today. The did it yesterday and from the results of that performed another tap… they removed some fluid again. That was yesterday at 5pm… and we called at 6pm to hear that he was lying on his back quite comfortable. He was also having apnea episodes yesterday which also sparked the desire for the ultrasound. Other than that he’s now over the 800grams mark that’s more than his birth weight.. so the little guy is getting bigger. 😀 we’ll see things go today – and let you all know.
keep praying…
