David is doing well, continues to breathe on his own with the high flow nasal cannula. He is eating more and gaining a little more weight. The best thing today was watching him suck on a pacifier!! It's pretty amazing to watch him do it, he is so little!
The staff are pretty sure reflux may be causing his heart rate drops, this is something preemies struggle with. Please pray that he gets through this part and his body matures enough to handle feedings.
We had a good day, holding and giving him a bath! Then we got to visit with my friend Natalie who drove up from Yuma, it was a refreshing time.
Crystal, I believe there are many out there like me who have not missed one day reading your entries and praying. We are "hem touchers" for David (Mark 6:56) Thank you for your faithfulness to report! I'm glad you were able to spend time with Natalie. Love, Candi
ReplyDeleteEating and gaining weight - wonderful! Reflux can be stubborn with preemies and I hope David's doesn't last too long.
ReplyDeleteIf you would like to chat with other parents of preemies, try visiting the March of Dimes community called Share Your Story: http://www.shareyourstory.org/. You'll find great support there.
Yea for good days! Keep growing David and make your Mama proud!
