Slacking on the updates.....

Sorry about the delay in updates, I am trying to get myself prepared for going to back to work, and spending as much time in the hospital and home as I can in a 24 hour day! Why can't they make days longer?? I feel like time is just FLYING by, Bryce is almost 2 months old! It feels like I just had him yesterday (only I can walk now). Well anyway, things have been OK the past few days. Bryce now weighs 2lbs. 9.2 oz. FAT! I love it! His arms and legs aren't really wrinkly anymore because he has fat to fill them out! Its so cute! He is almost eating an ounce of milk now (22 mls.) (30 mls. is an Oz.) and seems to be taking it fine. They turned him down to 1 liter of pressure on the VapoTherm. Next is nasal cannula! He has been off the steroids now for about 2 days, so far so good, he can relapse but hopefully he won't. He had his ultrasounds on the 30th, and the grade 1 IVH's are almost resolved and the Thelamic Echos are GONE!!! This is exciting news! His renal ultrasound was not as great, his left kidney is enlarged and has fluid around it?? Not 100% sure what if anything this means, but they will follow it for now. And he is now considered a "feeder and a grower"! One of the Fellows(doctors) called him this and said it with a smile so it must be good! They have moved us to a different pod, we are now in Pod 2, it seems to be quieter in there.... Its pretty good except for the fact that I keep almost going into Pod 3... I'll get used to it! Keep up the praying please, it IS why we have been so lucky!
