Kale had himself a nice little day today! He didn't really have any changes today - he is still on 5.0 lpm and has a blood gas tomorrow morning. His LAST dose of steroids is tonight. The Dr. said that if his body feels the difference with no steroids then we would start to see that over the next few days so we are hoping and praying that he doesn't dip when he comes off the steroids because he has been doing SO WELL we love seeing him progress!
His feedings today went up to 27 mls every 3 hours fortified at 27 calories - ALMOST ONE OUNCE, WOOHOO!!!!!!!! What a rockstar :) His weight is also up today, he is now at 3 lbs. 10 oz! That is TWO pounds over his birthweight!!!!!! He just looks so amazing, he looks so much healthier and stronger, it's crazy what 2 pounds can do for such a little guy.
His eye exam yesterday came back with the same results, immature retina and at risk for developing ROP. So the eye doctor will come back next Thursday to re-evaluate.
This weekend we are headed back to Cedar Rapids for our nephew's 2nd birthday - can't believe he is already TWO! Hopefully I'll get some good pictures to share :)
Thanks for checking in!
Thanks for visiting!
