The little man had his eyes checked this morning. The doctor said they are still immature but no signs of ROP. That is to be expected. His eyes, like everything else, will take some time to develop. They will continue to check his eyes every couple weeks until he comes home and he will probably have eye checks even after he comes home. Better to be safe when dealing with his sight! Other than that, the doctor rounded and didn't change a thing. She said he looks great! I am sure in the next couple days they will take another step to lower his air flow but will give him a chance to get used to the 2 liters that he is on. So, sorry for nothing exciting today. But, no news is good news...right?
Oh, by the way, the nurse told me last night that Justin is getting a reputation in the NICU. Apparently he has created poop problems for a lot of them...requiring LOTS of cleaning. :) Yikes!
Oh yeah, almost forgot. He is 3 lbs 15 ounces!! We could be at 4 lbs by tomorrow!
We're still laughing about the poop explosions. It's wonderful to be able to chuckle over something so incredibly normal after all you have been through. Justin is sailing over some very important milestones and we're cheering for him to continue this great progress. Be sure to take care of you too!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear that Justin is still improving!! Just from the pictures you have posted you can tell that he is getting bigger. Thank you for taking the time to blog the things that are going on. It's a nice way to inform everyone without having to repeat yourself a million times and it will be nice for Justin later on to read how far he has come! He is just so cute and Mike and I can't wait until we can meet him in person!
