Peyton now weighs 3lbs 12.3oz so he has almost gained 2 whole lbs.
He got to drink out of the bottle again today and he again finished the entire thing. But when Alaina was trying to burp him he had a couple of Bradycardia (heartrate drops below 100 bpm) spells. The doctor took it under advisement and is going to keep an eye on him for a couple of days and possible do an upper GI later this week to see if he is having acid reflux problems.
This is the first A & B spell he has had since Saturday so hopefully this was a fluke but the OT nurse said that it was normal for premies to have reflux issues after first feeding from a bottle.
The nurse told Alaina yesterday that as long as he is tolerating his 1 bottle a day they might try to bump him to 2 a day in the near future and then in a couple of weeks all bottle feedings.
Thanks again for all the prayers and continue to do so. He is living proof of the power of prayer and is truly blessed.

Ahhh he is so adorable!
ReplyDeleteI WANT TO SEE HIS FABULOUS WARDROBE NOW THAT HE IS MODELING HIS NEW DUDS.
ReplyDeleteIt is so good to see him growing. I had a nephew who was born weighing 13 ounces at TX Womans. He is now 10 years old and doesn't have any problems from being such a premie. Between God's care and your love, Peyton is in good hands. Take good care of yourselves also. He will need you to be strong for him when he comes home. You are all in my prayers.
