Sorry it has been a while since I last posted. Here is the latest...
On Thursday Peyton had many blood tests run including his thyroid, but we will not know the results for several days.
Peyton's daily life is good. He sleeps a lot because of how full he is getting. He is up to 8mL of milk every three hours. He has a couple handmade crocheted hats that were donated by charities and he looks pretty cute in them (from the pics). He is receiving caffeine injections every morning to help him remember to breathe--this is normal for preemies.
Alaina and Pat have been doing skin-to-skin contact with him which all parties enjoy, of course. They say this is very good for Peyton's well-being.
Peyton will have another echocardiogram soon. They are questioning whether they saw a thin membrane, reflection, or tiny hole in one of his atrias in the heart. More testing will give more knowledge. Again it may or may not be a tiny hole. It is my understanding that it is not life-threatening and if it is a hole then they can fix it when Peyton is a little older and stronger.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE CONTINUED PRAYERS AND SUPPORT!
