No News Is Sometimes Good News
Aside from some modifications to Trey's nutrition plan there were no changes today. They have adjusted the recipe for his fortified breast milk to cut back on protein, and they are also adding an oil to increase the calories. Hopefully these efforts will help him gain some weight (he's currently 4 lbs. 8 oz). His blood gas levels have been inconsistent, making it difficult to make any concrete decisions about moving forward. The doctors are going to wait it out a few more days before making any major changes. Stella had a good day today. She is starting to be awake more during the daytime and is starting to be more aggressive about letting us know what she wants and when - and lets just say she's not always patient about it! I had a talk with her today about how she'll have to wait her turn when her brother comes home - which is a day we all can't wait for.

congratulations on all the little steps. If we didnt have patience before this experience we have had a crash course. Trey will get here... Ty at nearly three months now weighs 6lbs, home with the O2 and the monitors are not so bad considering how far he has come....Trey reminds me of Ty way back when so keep the faith. Thanks for the updates, i really miss you guys...back to no adult conversations as we do not leave the house except for Dr. Appts. Glad to hear Stella has some personality :)
