Trev is now 3 1/2 months old. His due date was December 5th, as you all know he had different plans. Trev now weighs just over 8 pounds and he is doing very well. He has now been home for 1 month and continues to grow. We still have tons of follow up doctors appointments, it seems that we are in there at least once per week. It also seems that there is someone within the medical staff at our home at least once a week to check up on him. When you have a preemie they keep pretty close tabs on them. The other day, home care services was at our home to give Trev a injection to prevent RSV. It is sad to see the little guy get a shot, cry for about 5 seconds and then he is fine. He has received so many shots, IV's, pokes, blood transfusions that he actually handles a shot as if he were an adult. I could not even begin to try and count how many shots that he has received in his short time here on earth. Reese is crazy about Trev, she cannot keep her hands off of him. She is very excited to have a baby brother that she can hold.
Miraculously, Trev is producing Red Blood Cells at a normal rate! Our last visit to the Hematologist, Trevs blood test showed that he was a little Anemic, but producing RBC's at a rapid rate! It is a matter of continued tests and follow ups to assure that his body will regulate all of its required functions. So far, he is on the right track and doing very well
Izzy is happy to know that her boyfriend is now producing RBC's. We've got some info. about Synagis that we need to give to you. Karson will call you.
ReplyDeleteI think Trev is Jenna's boyfriend...not Izzy's boyfriend...haha.
ReplyDeleteJenna just got the Synagis shot too. She cried so hard, it was so sad. It was the first time I'd seen her get a shot. But she calmed down after I held her a bit. Poor little things have been through a lot...must be the worst job in the world to have to poke babies! And congrats on the RBC!!! Sounds like he is doing great! We are so blessed!!!
