The Day of FIVE

So, today Lenwood is FIVE weeks old and his weight is FIVE pounds!  He's also got IV number FIVE put in for his ten day round of antibiotics.  He doesn't have five IVs in all at once.  They  keep getting to where they are not working and they have to remove one and put in another.  He's had one in his head, one in both hands and one in both feet.  He seems to be doing better.  They'll check his white count again tomorrow and if it's back in normal range we'll likely get to at least get rid of the gown.  Might keep the mask and/or gloves a few days.

He's up to 60cc feedings every 4 hours and seems to be tolerating this well.  They are also stopping his caffeine.  He's only been having one brady every couple days since the reflux was addressed and he received the transfusion, both on Thursday.  It's possible he'll have more once he comes off the caffeine, but maybe not.

Thank you for the prayers!  They are working.  Please keep them going.  He still needs them.  We aren't at the end of our NICU journey just yet, but hopefully we are getting closer.
