Great week / 3 months old on the 15th....

Baby Dylan is having a great week. He had his follow up eye exam yesterday where they actually did a full exam. The doctor had great news, his eyes look great after surgery!!! The doctor was very pleased and said that Dylans' eyes couldn't look better and that he couldn't be happier!! There are still some risks involved. The retina could still detach and Dylan still could have poor eyesight but the chances of those things were about 60% before the surgery and that can be halved since he had the treatment. This is great news!!! They will re-check his eyes in two weeks. The Plus disease he had in his eyes are completly gone and the welds they made are healing nicely. So he is seeing normal right now! His weight is up to 3 pounds and 11 ounces. He is eating 1 full ounce of formula plus 2 cc's additional every 3 hours and loving it!! He is on a CPAP of 11 now and loving that as well. Because of his eyes they are keeping his oxygen >=40-60% right now and he is usually at around 40%. He has had a few spells every couple of days or so where he drops his heartrate and O's but comes back up on his own. This is usually after his feedings which means he may have mild acid reflux or it usually happens when his CPAP tube in his nose needs to be replaced. He is very much awake now usually at least 4 hours if not more a day. He is getting a bath 1-2 times per week and loving the water too. It usually takes him a couple of minutes to get use to the water then he loves it. And those lungs are clear now, when he is mad you really hear the cry loud and clear!! And he will pick up his head if he is on his tummy and move it back and forth and hunch up on his fore arms and knees and scoot. He is getting to be a strong little munchkin. He had a head ultrasound yesterday and it was negative as have been his previous 3, this is tremendous news. They did it because he is at the end of 36 weeks gestation and that is usually when they check it again for preemie babes. Things are great for baby Dylan, prayers are working. We pray every day that he keep breathing good, going potty, growing, eating all of his food and his eyes are just fine. God has blessed us with a miracle baby for sure. 3 months old tomorrow, time has gone by so fast. We love you Dylan and are thanking god that you are with us today~
