New bed - October 10, 2013

Owen is one month old today!

He is still peeing well.  His kidneys are doing better.  He also got an RSV shot today.  Owen is getting more milk, too!

He got his weekly ECHO today.  Preliminary results are good.

His lung x rays are holding steady.  He is still being weened off the oxygen and nitrous while on the regular ventilator.  Slowly but surely.

The swelling went down enough for Owen to open his eyes a little bit this morning.  Today is the first time he has lost weight!  He lost 30 grams.  Hopefully it will be a good while before he gets back up to 6 pounds!  Maybe it won't be excess fluid either!

The night nurse made him a new bed and rearranged the room.   He looks so much more comfortable and it is a lot easier to move around in!  

He is not being sedated as much, so he is moving around so much more!

Praying for:

  • Good official ECHO results
  • Kidneys to continue to get better
  • Lungs to develop
  • Digestive tract to get better
  • Able to keep weening on the oxygen and nitrogen
  • Bones to get stronger

New bed

Eyes open again

Sucking on his fingers
