Trev is 45 days old today. He is currently 33 weeks gestation and is 4 pounds 12 oz.! He is 17 1/2 inches long and is doing very well. He is eating 37 ML every 3 hours and they switched his feeding tube thru his nose instead of thru his mouth now that he is on a high flow nasal cannula. They turned Trevs oxygen down to 3 1/2 liters per minute today. The Nitric Oxide they are giving him seems to be doing the trick. It allows his lungs to heal so they can continue to slowly ween him off of his oxygen needs. They will performing an eye test this week to test his vision and his eye development. He is doing so well and seems to be extremely alert, he absolutely loves kangaroo care which has been proven and studied to increase the growth of pre mature babies. He is a beautiful little boy and is getting cuter every single day. It is very difficult for us to leave him at the hospital now because he is doing so well and we are getting comfortable taking care of him. He is a very well mannered baby and he seems to be winning over the hearts of all the nurses at the NICU. He is a charming baby and is as cute as can be, He is going to be a special person some day. Jannell and I are so excited and feel very blessed to be able to raise him and watch him grow. He has jumped some HUGE hurdles and he is a brave little FIGHTER!
