He is doing great.. Off the cpap and onto the nasal cannula. This makes me very happy because the cpap looked like it was hurting his face and so I am sure it makes him happy too! Happy boy = healing! His PDA is insignificant per the echo results and he will have his first eye exam tomorrow at 31 weeks. He is handling his full feeds of 22 ml every 3 hours and he is 2 lbs 10 oz today. Ari told me he is getting better and wants to get back to Portland with his Papa and Luca. For only 31 weeks old, he has amazing personality as you can see in the attached photo. We are going to all have a lot of fun together in our future.
Hi Angelique...I am Brian Brown's wife and we are keeping Ari and your entire family in our thoughts! Our son was born at 31 weeks and we spent 6 weeks in the NICU so we know how you are feeling! Ari is a rockstar and the doctors and nurses are amazing! You will be at home before you know it with all of your boys!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rachael for your support. I'm ready to come home now but I think I am only about halfway there but I'm happy about the progress my son has made.
