Thursday News

Peyton had a couple of Apnea/Bradycardia episodes last night. The doctor said that this may be due to the fact that he is having to work to hard to keep his O2 saturation level up. This is also the reason that they said he has been acting kind of tired lately since his O2 stats seem to be lower during the times when he is off oxygen then during feedings when they are at 100%. She thinks that maybe they were to aggressive in weening him off of his oxygen, so they are going to put him back on it full time to see if that will make an improvment.

He is still getting 3 bottles daily and he is still doing very good on those so maybe in the next couple of days he will get an increase in food levels or another bottle added to his routine.

Over the last week or so he has begun to smile quite often while his is out of his isolette and we are holding him. So we are very happy to see him doing that.

He weighs 4lbs 5.3oz, so he is gaining weight and beginning to outgrow some of his little clothes that he has gotten.

Thanks to all who continue to pray for him and please continue to do so and ask God to continue to watch over him.
