Day 55

Gestational Age: 32 Weeks 1 Day
Weight: 1550 Grams
3 Pounds 7 Ounces

First off ,we know you guys are all saying.Holy Crap 4 ounces in one day.,it can't be.Well you're likely correct.He got his every other day dose of Lasix this morning and a lot of the gain is probably due to fluid weight that it hasn't taken care of yet.We will have a more correct figure tomorrow.Josh is doing well today.He was on room air(The normal amount of oxygen you would get breathing plain air)today when we got there.No major problems today.As says our nurse Lynn.He was a good boy today.The desats were to a minimum and his mom broke him out of his jail cell today so of course new pics will be forth coming(go figure).He went through the first of 3 rounds of contrast tests(where he swallows some Barium and they view its tracking) today.He passed with flying colors on this one.No perforations in sight.Other than that not much has change.No gnus is good gnus(sorry cartoon references from childhood are hard to pass up).Thanks to all again for the words of encouragement and the prayers.We appreciate every one of you!
Love to all,
Dave and Dianna

Wow, Dianna, he is really growing. I just missed reading for a few days and he's already over 3 lbs. That's great. I'm glad he's doing well. I'm sure it will only get better each day.
