We got the results of the eye exam... his vessels are immature... Okay. We may have been able to tell them that! They will do another exam at a later time to determine if there are going to be any eye problems.

He is back on lasix daily (I guess he was on it every other day), there is still fluid in his lungs, but no one seems too concerned. I guess it's still expected because he is still little and even with the steroids, his lungs are not as developed as they would be if he were term. The really big weight gain could be fluid, we will see what the weight is this evening to be sure that is really correct!!

He was doing pretty good today. I held him the whole time I was there. At first he was satting high and then when he was tired of me, he started desatting again. My mom got to see him finally, as she hasn't been up since before we left UConn.

There is a nurse there that we totally didn't like. She was really rough with our little dude, and for a baby who doesn't like to be messed with, this is not a good thing. I was pumping when she handled him badly, and Dave stewed about this all day. So we asked if we could request that a nurse not take care of Josh and they said absolutely. So that is a good thing. We want to feel secure that they are taking good care of our little guy, and she was not doing a good job. Luckily one of our favorites has him tonight!!

Love to all.
