Results from his cranial ultrasound came back that there are no changes. They won't look again until 36 weeks. That seems like a long time & I will be worried, but the nurse made a good point that it won't change anything. I just need to keep praying that it clears up, does not cause any delays or issues for Ryan, and that he continues growing and getting stronger. Ryan has been having a good day today and is maintaining his first place status as our best breather! As of today he weighs 2 lb, 14.2 oz. I got to hold Ryan for over 2 hours yesterday afternoon! It was awesome!!
William has been having a good day today, too! His nurse whispered to me that they put his feeding tube through his nose, instead of through his mouth and he seems to like that better and in turn is having fewer bradycardia spells. Just don't tell him...we don't want him to figure it out and start misbehaving again! ;) He now weighs 2 lb, 10.9 oz. Pictures of this sweet pea today...
Look at that little tongue!!! So cute!
Stokes has been having a rough day. He has been brady-ing a lot and having too many episodes for the nurse to walk away from him for long. He is not fixing it himself and she is having to "wake him up" to remind him to breathe. Not great news since he has been doing well on high flow since he got on it and he has been holding his own. They drew some blood to see if his hemotacrits level was low and it came back in the lower range of "normal". If it had been low they would have considered another blood transfusion for him. Instead they decided to up his oxygen flow force from 4 to 5 in the hopes that will work for him. If not he will have to go back to CPAP. We don't want him to go back to CPAP!!!!! But we want whatever is best for him. So goes life in the NICU....2 steps forward, 1 step back. We will see how the updated oxygen flow works. Today Stokes weighs 2 lb, 15 oz. So close to 3 lb! Here are a few pictures from several days ago when Thomas was holding him and Stokes held my finger. So sweet!!!!
