Good news and Bad news

Well the bad news first. Little John has stage 2 R.O.P. that's when the retina starts to detachment. The eye doctor told us not to worry about it yet.(Yea right) He said that sometimes it will fix its self. I did my own reseach and there is 5 stages of r.o.p. with 5 being blind. At stage 3 is when they start talking about surgery. I think its done with a laser but not sure. The eye doctor will be back next week to look at him again.

Now the good news. His eye doctor said that the cloudiness is gone!!! I was very surprised when he told us that since the last couple of times he said that they where. That's why he couldn't see if he had r.o.p. or not. We were very concerned about the cloudiness because that would mean little john was having a very hard time seeing.

And now more good news!! He is off the vapertherm and on regular oxygen. He was on 3/4liter yesterday and today he's at 1/2. The next step is 1/4 then 1/8 then nothing. Me and John where told that he could come home on 1/4 liter. But you never know about little John he could just take off and not have to come home on oxygen or maybe he will have to, you just never know. We are hoping that his doctors and nurses might start trying to bottle feed him next week. That might take awhile though. He is still 3 pounds and 11 ounces but he's holding, not losing. So that's always a good thing. I will write more when I here something new. I hope all is well with everyone.
