LITTLE JOHN IS DOING GOOD

Sorry I haven't updated the site in a while but me and John have been busy trying to get things in order. Little john is at 1/8L and his oxygen is any where from 25% to 50%. 1/8L is the lowest that it will go. We have to turn his oxygen up to 50% when he is taking his bottle because its a lot of work for him. He has been doing very good taking his bottle. He takes about every one of his feeding by bottle. He gets 55cc's (2 ounces) every four hours. We think that if it wasn't for his hernia surgery next Thursday that he would have been home by next weekend. So we have to start all over again. He has to go back on the vent, stop feedings and rest for a day or two. He are praying that this will be his last surgery for a very very long time. And that he will have a quick recovery.

His eye doctor (Dr. Walker) came by on Thursday and looked at his eyes. He said that it doesn't look like they are progressing but we would know more in a week or two. Oh yeah I almost forgot he weighs a whooping 4 pounds and 14 ounces. Two more ounces and he will be 5 pounds. He is getting some extra calories with each feeding to try to get more weight on him. I think by this weekend he will be 5 pounds. Well I will update the site in a day or two. I hope all is well with everyone. And please keep praying for our little guy!!!
