Weekend Updates

Peyton now weighs 5lbs 6.2oz.

He had a sleep study yesterday and all indications are that it went very well. We are still awaiting official results from that and should get them back in the next 24 hours. He did well throughout the weekend and seems to be very happy as long as he gets fed when he wants to.

He will have some blood work done today to determine if his blood is regenerating itself, if his Calcium and Phosphorus is normal, and to see if the rest of his electrolytes are in the normal range. Please pray that everything goes well with this because this could be the determining factor on whether he comes home in the next few days or not. He will also have a car seat study done today to see if he can handle riding in a car seat while maintaining control of his breathing and heart rate. This is done because he is to small to fit in a car seat normally and his chin may tend to drop and thus cut off his air supply a little, the nurses have ways to pack blanket rolls in the seats to help limit this effect.

Thank you to everyone who continues to pray for him and please continue to do so. God is giving him strength and watching over him. Thanks and God bless.

Patrick
