Trev is doing pretty well. He now weighs 1965 grams which is 4 pounds 6 oz. Since we cannot take children into the NICU Reese and Drake have not been able to see little Trev yet. I was determined to let them see their little brother, across the way from Trevs window is the cafeteria. Reese,Drake and I headed over to the deck of the cafeteria so we were looking back at Trevs window off of the balcony. I brought a pair of binoculars, called Jannell in the NICU and told her to hold Trev up by the window. My little Reese had the binoculars focused in right on the window, she was able to see Trev for the first time and she was so excited! We also let little Drake sneak a peak thru the binoculars. To say the least, Reese thinks that binoculars are about the neatest thing on the planet. I am so happy we found a way for them to see their little brother.
Trev seems to be stuck on his oxygen setting at 4 liters per minute. He is not making much progress with his lungs, they have decided to put Trev on Nitric Oxide which will help his lungs to develop quicker. The Nitric is given thru his nasal cannula for a period of 1 month. We are hoping this will make a huge difference and we will continue to see our Trev grow. Nitric is EXTREMELY expensive and is not very often used because of the cost, even though it is very effective. (About $90,000!)
