Today was a quiet day..I think that is a good thing.
Carter is continuing to grow and do well. He is up to his birthweight of 2lbs 2oz and starting to get some little fat in his cheeks. The nurses and doctors ideally like them to be at their birthweight by 2 weeks old so at only 10 days old he is pushing ahead.
He has been having some little episodes with his heart rate where is lowers and he has to be reminded sometimes to breathe....he gets tired quick. They are doing some things to rule any problems out, he is on a pump for his feedings and they will do blood work on Wednesday to see if there are any infections. If all that is OK then they will just say it is because of prematurity.
Kevin and I had a great visit last night..I was able to bathe him, change his diaper, rub him down with lotion, take his temperature and get him ready for bed...so good to be involved.
We will update later.
Please continue to pray for our little man!
