Tests

Peyton now weighs 4lbs 9.5oz and is 17in long.

He had a follow up head ultrasound today to check for any bleeding in his brain. So far no official results back on that but I will keep everyone informed. He also had a chest X-ray and will have an ecocardiogram later today to check and see if everything in his heart and lungs are developing properly and to make sure there are no complications. Please pray that all these go smoothly and that he continues to get stronger with each passing day. He will also have the dye test and the developmental procedure done later this week so lets hope everthing is in order there.

Peyton is now up to 5 bottles a day and they have him at 28.5°C on his isolette. After he gets to 6-8 bottles and 28°C they are going to put him in an open crib and he will be a little more free.

He is getting a little spoiled now according to the nurses because he is getting used to being held after his feedings and the nurses do not usually do that like we do. So he cries when they tube feed or bottle feed him and do not hold him for at least 15min afterward.

Thanks to everyone who continue to pray for him and please continue to ask God to watch over him and continue to make him healthy. Thanks and God Bless.

Patrick
