He is like his dad already! He loves to sleep on his stomach. Trev weighs 1260 grams today which is 2 lbs. 13 oz. Which is up to his original birth weight! His feedings are up to 22 mg every 3 hours which is 8 times per day, he started at 2mg. He is handling eating very well, they feed him Jannells breast milk thru his feeding tube. They removed his PICC line yesterday and it went very well. Trev is having a hard time weening off of his ventilator, but we are hoping by next Wednesday they will give it a shot and they can keep him on the CPAP. His little lungs are just too pre mature to handle working on their own, babies lungs are fully developed usually at 36 weeks gestation. Trev was born at 26 weeks, since he is no longer breathing amniotic fluid he is required to use his pre mature lungs to breathe. It is hard on him, but he is getting stronger every day! Trev has fluid in his lungs which is making it difficult for the Respiratory Therapists to ween him off the ventilator. They are giving him 3 doses of medication and a steroid to try and clear up his lungs so they can attempt to ext-abate him from the ventilator.
