October 9

Wow, it is hard to believe that Greyson is two weeks old tonight!  We just got back from visiting him and I thought I’d get this sent off before I go to bible study.  Greyson is doing well tonight.  He looked very cozy when we got there and made it through his handling without any problems.  His drain site looks OK and his stomach seems to be about the same.  Time is the important factor now that the drain is out and should tell us whether or not his stomach has healed, we of course are praying it has.  His PDA continues to be quiet which hopefully means it is closing or has closed.  Blood pressure and blood sugars continue to be doing well so that with his breathing seems to indicate all is well with the PDA, that to will be determined by time.  His weight continues to fluctuate which is frustrating at this point because it is really hard to tell if the differences are because he was not weighed the same, or other factors.  Tonight he was 1 pound 3 ounces.  For awhile he was 1 pound 7 ounces but we are starting to believe that those numbers were not accurate, possibly due to extra things he had going on but who knows.  Lord willing over the next week we should see a definate pattern of weight increase develop which would be really good.  Well here is a pic from tonight (I actually remembered the camera!).  He still has a long way to go but we are praising God for the good day he has had so far today.
