Not much to report for our growing lil RJ. He looked all comfy and cozy when we saw him briefly this evening. He opened his eyes off and on when he heard our voices. He was stretching and lifting his head some, so those are signs to us that he's starting to feel more like himself. His FiO2 was around 40% and he has been dingy again today, but it's due to all the secretions he's producing. Thankfully all his cultures are negative and the secretions he has are clear. Thankgoodness no infection!! He's right on tract for his weight and head circumferance. They started Beneprotein last week I think to help with his length. He's made a slight increase on that front. It's also really hard to get an accurate length on the lil guy as well. He was looking as cute as ever this evening. I'm excited about the prospects of holding him again tomorrow. It's been 4 days of trying to let him rest up, it's time for mommy to hold him. Sorry, no new pics tonight. We will try to get an updated one tomorrow. Thanks for all your love and support.
Shelly, I truly enjoy reading your blog. It sheds light on the experience of being parents of a preterm baby. You and your husband are amazing people. I am thankful for your transparency and willingness to share your life with me. Continue to be blessed and I will continue to send up prayers. Jitana
