Good News

Peyton's eye exam yesterday was negative for ROP. He will have another test in 2 weeks and if that is negative the risk of him developing the disease is very low. Thanks to everyone for the prayers, he is living proof that prayer works.

The doctor increased his feeding to 38mls from 36mls. He is still tolerating all his feedings and may get increased to 4 bottle feedings per day very soon. Last night he weighed in at 4lbs 3.8oz.

The nurse last night decreased his isolette temperature down to 29.5°C so only 1.5° to go before he may be able to be in an open crib.

The doctors also ordered the portable apnea monitor and portable oxgen for him yesterday. This is a sign that they may be getting ready to send him home in a few weeks. They said that ordering the equipment is precautionary and he may or may not need it by the time he goes home.

I want to thank everyone for their continued support through this difficult time and ask that we continue to pray for him and ask GOd to watch over him.
