Peyton is now down to 28°C on his incubator and up to 7 bottle feedings per day. So he should be moved into an open crib in the next 1-3 days.
He now weighs in at 4lbs 10.1oz so he has almost gained 3lbs total.
Yesterdays tests all came back ok. His brain scan showed a little improvement from last time which is good and the doctor said there is nothing to be concerned with on that. His Chest X-ray came back a little fuzzy but they said his heart and lungs are developed. He is going to get a low dose diuretic the next few days to reduce the amount of fluid in his chest cavity to see if he really needs O2 full time or just during feeds.
He is supposed to have his ECO test today and the child life development therapist is going to be doing an assessment on him as well. Please pray that everything goes well during these tests because they are the ones that determine how long it will be before he comes home and how much additional support he is going to need when he gets home.
Please continue to pray for him to get stronger and healthier and that God will continue to watch over him. Thanks to everyone for thinking of Peyton during this time and please continue to do so.
Patrick
