Yesterday was my first day I haven't blogged since Justin was born. Everything is fine, there was just a lot going on yesterday so I didn't have a chance to blog.
Justin is doing so well! He is up to 4 lbs 13 ounces but is looking a little puffy today. He might be retaining a little water but that is normal for preemies and they will give him some lasics (sp?) to get rid of the extra water. They did an X-Ray to make sure he didn't have any fluid in his lungs and everything came back clear. They also took an X-Ray of his tummy because it was looking full but nothing to worry about there. Sometimes the air from the high-flow makes his tummy full. He has been on room air today and is doing well with it. They will take him off high-flow at some time today and put him on a regular cannula. He should just need a little flow as they ween off the air and O2. Other than that, nothing new.

Hey Meg, impress people with your increasing medical knowledge and call his lasix-furosemide. That should do it. He is such a sweet looking baby. I love his hair in the latest picture. You take care of yourself and get a little extra rest over the next few days. Hope you are all eating well and getting enough sleep. This baby business is hard work! It's always worth it but hard.
