Jett is making amazing progress. The hardest battle now is the weight gain and getting his feeding program just right. One day he gains 40 grams and the next he drops 2 grams. The doctors look at the average weight gain over a period of 10 days to make sure he's moving up on the scale.
Joel and I have observed that the "weighing" process can be very subjective and sometimes the nurse will weigh him three times and get three different numbers. When gaining weight seems to be the priority, it's frustrating to see such inconsistency.
He had is echo cardiogram yesterday which revealed that his PDA is still there. Although very small, until it creates any symptoms...they just watch and hope that it closes on its own.
Keep your prayers coming and ask for some pudgy legs and arms to come soon! We love you all and thank you for your help and thoughts!
It's an incredibly frustrating battle. Ours was up +60 two days ago and dropped 10 last night. We just try to focus on the weekly average instead of her daily progress.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear about the weight gain. Hopefully it will become more consistent soon. I can only imagine how stressful that is!
