Update finally...sorry!

So the last few days have been very hectic, mostly Monday was the really busy day we moved all day long. And never made it to see Lakai, which was terrible. I cried most of the night because we had not gone and yet I was still moving in to our new place and couldn't just up and leave. Especially because we had the rental truck..and Eli helping us move. Thank you Eli!

And my mom who got us a great new bed set. Its stunning!

Nov 18th & 19th -

There has not been very much change lately. I suppose no big news is good news. But there are some changes that are happening which are not great and yet they are very typical of micro preemies. He has some negative changes happening in his lungs. He has had "very abnormal" chest xrays which tell that there is some very early indications of chronic lung disease. He is very heavily ventilated and sedated with morphine because of the need for ventilation. He was up to the 70's for oxygen and now is in the 40's so he is jumping all over the place.

He also does not like noise or being handled, so they have decided today to move him and another micro preemie, Emma (23 weeker) into a private room together, away from the very loud and busy main NICU.

Other than that he has been gaining weight, but there was a small loss of 8g's and when every gram helps..that matters.

His infection seems to be doing better and he is almost done his antibiotics.

There is not much else going on right now..

I will keep you guys updated. Sorry for the delay, but we only have one computer set up currently.

Nic
