I know it's been over a week since my last update and my Mommy says to apologize (she forgot to bring me the laptop..lol). As of Monday, I weighed 2lbs 15oz, so it seems that I am gaining weight pretty good now with the help of these protein shake like fortifiers that they are adding to my milk. I had a couple of incidents over the last week where my vent tube had to be removed and replaced (long story) and not to mention a trachea infection scare, but God carried me through everything. I had my PIC line removed because I am eating well. This is good because it lowers my risk for getting an infection. I also had my 1 month brain scan and everything is still good. I started another round of steroids on Monday and we are praying really hard that this time will lead to the permanent removal of the ventilator. We are hoping that my added weight will help sustain my ability to breath on my own. This weight gain thing has been pretty cool, because I actually moved up diaper sizes and was able to finally put on clothes....yay! It was just a preemie onesie for now, but but I know I am in for some great things because I heard my Mom yelling at my Dad because he was looking on the Burberry website for an outfit for me....LMLTO (little tush, in case you didn't get it). That's about it for now. We will hopefully be weaning off of the ventilator by the weekend, so that is what I am looking forward to. As always, thanks for the thoughts and prayers and my apologies again for those of you who have been waiting on this update.

KYLE!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so big and beautiful every time I see a new photo of you! I am getting so excited at your little progress and cannot wait to meet you! I hear you are becoming a little chubby boy so good job on eating your food! When you get bigger you will be surprised at how many of us try to do the opposite of what you are doing now, LOL.
I think of you often and say lots of prayers for you. Your mommy has been working real hard to get you here because she loves you so much. I know she can't wait to bring you home and have a party for you so people can bring you lots of cool stuff! (You'll have to let me know what you want!)..
Stay strong little man and look forward to you coming to visit your mommy's friends at work :)
XO-!
