His head is looking much better now that the skin is starting to grow around his skull.
Trying to open his eyes and find Daddy
Gavin is doing good today, they came and did an MRI on his head today, we have not gotten the test results back yet but the nurses seem to think that if it is bad news they would have said something right away. He is 3lbs 14 oz. The last few days he has gained around 2 oz a day. He had a hard time with his feedings last night, the Dr. just thinks he had an upset stomach, because by morning he was doing much better. Tonight his umbilical cord fell off, and he is starting to suck on a binki. They don't think he will be ready to bottle feed for at least 2 more weeks because even though he is starting to learn to suck he can't suck and swallow at the same time. They tend to forget to breath and that can't happen. I was thrilled to see him sucking though, he is progressing one day at a time.
Yeah a binki, he's learning to suck
Still so tiny especially in daddy's hand.
Here I am, hi Mommy.
Argh!!! Matee
Okay back to bed.
