6 LBS!

Jacob had a really good day. He's 6 lbs. 1.4 oz!!! Yay! He's packing on the weight so fast now. I can't believe it. Well, today he ate and slept very well. He didn't have any A's and/or B's since the 4th. His milk is now thickened with rice cereal to help with the reflux and he's tolerating it very well. That's a great thing!

He had his 3rd eye exam today and the doctor said he is doing well...he's progressing at the right rate. The results still showed that in one eye it was Grade I- Zone III, but that it was regressing. She won't see him until another 6 months.

I talked to Dr. Simko about discharge and he said that we're going to wait for his A's and B's to diminish. Though he's doing well during the day with me, he wants to make absolutely sure that his A's and B's don't occur as frequently or at all as it has been in the last few days during the day or night. He also said that if he goes without A's and/or B's in 5 days, that he'll circumsize Jacob. We'll see...I just hope he'll be able to come home before Thanksgiving.
