Day 63

Gestational Age: 33 weeks 2 day
Weight: 1750 grams (up 30)
3 lbs 14 oz

Well the doctors are not too concerned about the weight gain. It could be some fluid retention, but as long as he is breathing well they don't want to increase his Lasix as that can cause problems with his kidneys. He had his last contrast study done today and as far as we know, they all look good. So now it's waiting for his weight to get up there and they can do the ostomy reversal. Everything else seems to be fine. He has been breathing on room air (21% oxygen) the last two days. This doesn't mean he is breathing on his own, it just means that it's the lowest possible setting on the CPAP.
