Aiden weighed exactly 6 lbs last week, stripped down to a clean diaper and on a digital scale. Don't think he's gained much if any since he's also cut back on his intake.
He's been eating only about 2 oz's for the past few weeks. More on occassion and sometimes much less. Just trying to feed him as much as he'll take at this point. He's been spitting up (reflux?) more than he had been and this may have irritated his throat.
Aiden's meds consist of:
.75ml caffiene 1x daily (for heart stimulation)
.6ml Zantac 2x daily (For throat irritation. To reduce irritation and help improve his intake. Irritation is said to discourage his appetite.)
Neosure calorie supplement to promote weight gain
Apnea monitor
He's still hving apnea's and bradycardia's. Very random and not all associated with feeds.
His bilateral hernia surgery is scheduled for Jan. 26. Time will be determined on the 25th. He'll stay one night for observation of bradycardia's and apnea's. If he has a few he may have to stay longer.
WIll post new pics tomorrow. Mom and Dad have been exhausted as things have caught up to us. Thanks for the continued support and prayers. We value every bit of it.
