Almost 34

Tomorrow would have been 34 weeks gestation for Matthew and Alexander, and was our end goal once we ruptured.  Each holiday represented a new milestone - Columbus Day was 24 weeks/viability.  Veterans Day was 28 weeks, Thanksgiving 30, and Christmas Eve 34.  Unfortunately we couldn't make it that far.....

The Good

Matthew's CPAP pressure was switched down today and so far he is tolerating it well.  He is also tolerating more time on his back.  He continued to tolerate his feeds and breath comfortably.  Matthew also likes to look at the black and white graphics that Lynn put in his crib, and he has been doing some sucking on his pacifier.


The Bad

Hopefully Matthew stays on a steady upward trend with his weight, without huge spikes.  His height (though inaccurate to measure) hopefully will also go up as it seems to have stayed stagnant.  Still trying to get him off respiratory support.


The Ugly

No Ugly for Matthew today - fingers crossed it stays that way
