Since the last episode of James dropped heart rate he has been doing good. He is in 4 L and around 34% of oxygen. The doctor said she'll keep James in 4 L for the next couple of days. She doesn't want him to work too hard to breath so he can save his energy to grow instead. He gained quite a bit of weigh on Friday... not sure if it was water weight or an error. We'll see if he keeps that weight.
James had a head sono yesterday, nothing has changed since the last time he had sono. Just like other preemie, they tend to have bleed in the head. James had one too. Once the bleeding stops it creates a crease. You can call it the ''scar''. It's like when we get a cut on our skin, it creates a scar. Now it's up to James how he does with this scar. The scar itself is now called a cyst. The cyst is where the bleeding was. Based on yesterday's sono the cyst is still at the same size. Pray that it won't get any bigger. Pray that it will have very minimum effect on James. Next week a physical therapist will come and work with James. It's kinda exciting :)
Please pray for James' health. Pray that he keeps gaining weight, tolerates his feeding and his oxygenation. Pray that the cyst won't give major health issues to James. Doctor can diagnose, but God is in control. Right?
Have a great day :)
