Just the other day Hayley said "Can you believe its been three weeks? Oh wow! Its only been three weeks".
Rain now weighs 1100g and is happily managing his feeds, with all the associated bodily functions. His eyes have cleared up and the only additional interventions that he is getting is a vitamin supplement and a bit of caffeine to promote his breathing.
The one issue still with us is his ability to breath. he is breathing without assistance, but with oxygen therapy (at about 30%). Being so prem this is to be expected, but the concern with this is that extended oxygen therapy can have an affect the development of his eyesight.
Despite this, our visits have become wonderfully boring. He is sleeping a good 21 hours out of 24. He has a regular pattern of nappy changes and feeds every 4 hours. Sometimes he is restless but most of the time when we visit he is sleeping and only stirs when we fiddle or when he recognises our voices (especially Mom's).
