Sean is doing well today. He is eating well. Each day his feedings are increased.
A week ago he was at 2 cc's every 3 hours and today he is at 11 cc's every 2 hours!
The biggest issue has been his breathing. He is so premature that he forgets to breathe at times = Apnea
When he forgets to breathe, his heart rate goes down = Bradycardia
The C-Pap machine along with caffeine helps him remember to breathe.
This is common in premies his size.
For those of you who don't know...Sean's gestational age at birth was 26 weeks + 3 days (Full term = 40 weeks). I was on bed rest for one week. We gained a whole week by me being on bed rest.
We pray for him every day and we are trusting God each step of the way.
We are hopeful that he will do well and come home in a couple of months.
