"Hey, it's Susan calling with a small update. My son's doing great! He had his last eye exam today, and the doctor said he doesn't see any problems and doesn't think he needs to see him again. Praise God on that."
He did so well at his 5 pm feeding--he drank his bottle in 11 minutes--that today they increased his feeds from 40 ml to 45 ml every 3 hrs.
(His first few bottles were taken in 25-30 minutes, so this is a huge improvement!)
At 5 pm today he drank 45 ml in 13 min! He's doing great on his bottles.
David grew another quarter of an inch. He now measures 18.5 in. long and weighs 5 lbs. 10 oz. He's been a little constipated and had lasics today, so Susan's kind of expecting that number to go down a bit. His head had normal growth for the week, so he's growing, taking his feeds well, and completely free of infection. He just needs his lungs to develop, and he could be home free!
"Thanks for the prayers!"
