Today was a stressful day. Jacob had an eye exam. The picture to the left shows the Cyclops-looking foamy goggles they put on him after his exam. The doctor said he's doing okay for right now and will get a follow up exam in two weeks. His blood vessels behind his retina haven't yet reached the the area its supposed to be at this time. (I don't think I'm explaining it right...) Anyway, she said he's at a Stage 1 and 2 and Zone 3. Do you get it?
Anyway, he also had a hard time keeping his saturation level and heart rate up during his bottle feeding with me...it was sooooo scary! They had to give him blow-bys (sp?). I think it was my fault b/c his next feeding with the nurse went very well. He didn't desat at all. That's good news after a very long, long, long day.
Besides that, Jacob gained some more weight. He's 3 lbs. 10.5 oz. Everything is pretty much the same. Did I mention that his nasal cannula came off? =) He's such a cutie! Well...Jacob's NICU buddy graduated today and went home. It was a happy day for us all, but we're sure going to miss little Jay Jay.
