Bouncer - November 21, 2013

Owen is continuing to do well on the high flow cannula. They have weened his Oxygen down to 30% but have kept everything else the same. they have to give his lungs time to adjust to expanding with less support. If they try to rush him faster then he is ready for then it could set him back far so they are going to make sure that he is good and ready. Owen is having random 'episodes' were his heart rate drops and his oxygen saturation drops, but he recovers quickly. They said that he will probably do that at home as well.

His eye exam that he had yesterday was pretty good. The hemorrhages that the Doctor saw in his eyes the last two exams have disappeared!! Apparently they were more worried about those then we thought. his Retina development is still going OK, the chances of him having to have laser surgery before he leaves is about 50/50 right now. Owen will continue to get eye exams weekly, if not more.

Owen's Echo yesterday has still not been read by the Cardiologist.

Owen gained another 40 grams which puts him at 5lbs 5oz!! They have upped his feedings to 1.5 ounces every 3 hours!! The boy likes to eat!!

Praying for:
-Bones to Grow Stronger
-Infection to stay away
-Echo Results to be positive
-Lungs to continue to heal and get stronger

Family Pick (sorry PJ)
