Hello everyone Tiberius is still doing GREAT! He is 2lbs 6oz which is still down from his birth weight of 2lbs 12oz but the doctors are not concerned at this point. They have stopped his feeds at this point because yesterday afternoon they heard a heart murmur so they did a heart echo. During the echo they found a PDA which means that the Ductus in his heart is not closed like it should be this is very common in preemie babies. So they are giving him 3doses of medicine (indosin) to help this close. They will repeat the echo tomorrow morning if it is closed then they will resume feedings if not then they will do another dose of meds. I spoke with his nurse this morning and she said she didnt hear the heart murmur so it may have already started to close up, YAY! Even though our lil' man isnt able to get milk through his feeding tube he is still allowed to get a little bit of breastmilk during his oral cares. His nurse said she gave him some today on his paci and he LOVED it! So I really hope he can resume feedings tomorrow because he LOVES it so much :)
He is still breathing on his own like a lil' Rockstar and still a pretty calm lil' man.
We will go and visit him this evening since we dont have a sitter for Aricelli.
Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers they mean the world to us!
Lots of love
Kierstien <3
