Baby T. is doing very well, thank you all for your prayers and support. Vitals are still good. His oxygen levels are fluctuating, so they are trying to find the correct setting for his c-pap. It keeps migrating up on his face, so they need to keep pulling it back down again. He doesn't like to be touched or moved. His under-developed nervous system makes touch painful. He likes to hold Mommy's finger, though. His blood sugar was running high, so they started an insulin drip. Every once in a while he forgets to breath, which we are told, is very normal in premies. He is getting extremely close attention in the NICU and he starts breathing again with a gentle nudge to remind him. This learning to live stuff takes a little getting used to.
Mom and Dad are doing okay, we are obviously very worried about our little man. It is difficult not to be able to hold him yet. Mom got to hold him for a minute and that was only good timing; we came in just as they were transfering isolettes. These pics are grainy, but we'll get some better ones on soon.
Please keep praying for Baby T!
