Day 15 -August 1st

33 weeks 5 days   TWO WEEKS OLD TODAY!

Say an extra prayer for Lenwood tonight. He kept having brady's (heart rate drops) and d-sats (drops in breathing) during our visit. He hasn't been doing this. It 's a normal preemie thing so it could be just starting late or a sign of infection or a sign that he needs a blood transfusion.

They increased his feeding today and he's done well with that.  He had 10 cc for 3 feedings and then on up to 12 cc every 3 hours.  His food seems to be moving well through his bowel.

He weighs 3 lbs. 8.2 oz.  He gained 5 grams.  I was able to hold him for about 40 minutes this afternoon.  He was so awake and alert.  He's really focusing with his eyes now and appears to be looking at you.  Until the last couple days, when he was awake his eyes sort of rolling around a lot like he was really tired and couldn't stay awake.
