BRIGHT EYES

We had a lot going on today in ICC. It was Justin's second eye exam this morning. He really didn't like it although I don't think anyone really would. They said his eyes are still immature but getting better and moving in the right direction. They describe the maturity in zones. Zone 1 is really immature, zone 2 is where he should be at this point (somewhere in the middle), zone 3 is the next step and then his eyes are considered mature after he passes zone 3. One of his eyes is zone 2 and one is zone 3. I guess it is pretty common to have one eye develop differently than the other. So, his eyes are maturing the way (if not better) than expected and they will check again in 2 weeks. And, no signs of ROP...that's the best part! Also, they are going to start weening him off his nasal cannula. They wanted to try it today but decided not to because of his eye exam. The exams are really hard on babies and they really tire them out! We will wait until tomorrow to work on getting his cannula off. But, he is still sitting at room air if not a little above. Other than that, he looks great and is doing well!
