FIVE

Miles is finally five pounds ... and I have five pound to go to pre-pregnancy weight!! WHOO HOO for both of those! :) Although Miles deserves the credit for both of these!! He's worked so hard to keep his body temp. up, breathe, eat ... you know all of those things that he shouldn't even have to do right now!
He received his Epogen yesterday and the doc said that after his second dose we should see significant improvement. I can already tell that his color is getting better! He was keeping his oxygen saturation up pretty high last night, so they have cut his oxygen in half. The doc that was on last night (LOVE HER!) is at a different hospital for the weekend, which means that with a new doc comes a new plan of care. Thankfully Dr. S will be back on Tuesday!
Dr. S told me last night that best case scenario would be for Miles to come home next Friday; worst case is the following Friday. I can't believe that he is almost 3 weeks old!
Yesterday evening we had a little run in with his feeding being 2 1/2 hours late, Dr. S wrote some very explicit orders on feeding schedules, tube feedings vs. breast, etc. I'm telling you this lady loves her job (and her patients and their families!)! She told me that if there was an order written over the weekend that I wasn't comfortable with that I was more than welcome to have her called at the other hospital and she was rectify the situation to be as close to the plan that we had discussed. How many docs are going to make themselves that available??
That's about all that is new right now. Jeff & Graham had a boys day at the house which has included: wrestling, cleaning out the car, playing outside, and eating chocolate covered doughnuts!
Please continue to pray for Miles!!
With grateful hearts,
Jeff, Lauren, Graham & Miles

Also, please keep Kelly, Scott & Harper in your prayers....hop on over to her blog for the updates on Harper. Harper was born yesterday and has had a rough start at life. She was air lifted to another hospital an Kelly wasn't able to leave and be with her. The NICU life is stressful!!!
