Weston had an xray taken last night because he was having some trouble with his breathing and the xray showed that he was not producing his own surfactant. Normally we all can produce our own, but when he was born he was given surfactant until we knew if he could produce his own. So, the doctors decided that he would give him some more surfactant (inserted into his lungs) to extend him for a little bit longer. He has not had to be put back on the ventilator just yet and is still on room oxygen. Hopefully he will continue to do better and eventually produce his own surfactant. He has gained back up to 1 pound and 9 ounces and continues to eat 7cc every three hours.
Tonight Weston's Aunt Melissa and Uncle Tim are coming to see him. He cannot wait to see them...he told me so. LOL! Well, I guess I'm gonna get back in here with my little man. Hope everyone has a great Monday!
You are being so strong! I'm praying for you guys!
