Happy 1 Month Little guy!

My baby is 1 month old today!!!! He sure has been through a lot in his short little life. God has pulled him through and I know he has much more in store. ;-))))

The upper GI has been delayed. The surgeon wants the drain output basically dry before proceeding. They're watching it day to day at this point. Feedings have to be delayed as well until exam. There's still talk about moving him to the cpap shortly. There's a chance that once he's moved to the cpap he could tire out after a few days and have to go back on the vent. They see that more often than not in little guys like Chance.

He had an eye exam today to check for Retinopathy of prematurity or ROP. It's an eye disease where the blood vessels don't develop how they should and could lead to detachment of the retina if left untreated. They do laser surgery before getting to that point when needed.
Anyways, he's in the clear at this point! Yippee!!! Now they monitor closely with re-examinations to make sure he stays I'm the clear.

He's now 2 lb. 1.3 oz and 13.5 inches.

**stay tuned for some absolutely adorable Christmas themed 1 month pics!!!! Have to wait on photographer Joc to help take the pics!
