ZONE 3

Justin had his eye exam this morning and everything went great. Both of his eyes are in Zone 3 which is the closest to mature you can get but not quite fully mature yet. It makes sense though, because he still shouldn't even be born for another month. So, I am thinking that by then his eyes will be totally mature. They will check again in three weeks but saw no ROP or anything problems today. Don't worry, we should be out of there before three weeks from now. We will probably just have to bring him back. He is 5 lbs 15.5 ounces today and doing great. I thought he would be WAY too tired for any feedings on his own today after his eye exam but he was up for most of them...at least when I was there! Dr. Mary decided to do his circ tomorrow (as long as they aren't too busy in the unit) and I am sure that will really stress and tire him out. Hopefully he does ok. After that, he should be in the clear for a while as far as procedures. Phew!

That's all for today!
