1. Ari was able to get off lasiks (he was on this everyday and there are not so good side effects) see list here http://www.drugs.com/lasix.html
2. Ari got off caffeine
3. Ari is breastfeeding with and without the nipple shield (has taken full feeds by breast)
4. Ari is bottlefeeding (has taken full feeds by bottle)
5. He no longer has the top to his isolette on
6. He is regulating his own temperature
7. He is 5 lbs 7 oz.
8. He is following a nice curve for height, head and weight (GREAT PROGRESS)
9. He has great muscle tone and eye contact
10. Some slight stage 2 and mild stage 3 ROP seems to be getting a little better
11. He has weaned down from 3 liters to .6 liters and 28% oxygen
12. I heard his cry for the very first time, it was loud and sounded great
13. Cues for food, very good eater
The main thing that is bothering him are his hernias, he seems to be in a lot of pain so I am anxious to get that surgery as I think he will be a totally different baby once he is healed and doesn't have the pain that it causes.
