Hello once again,
Matthew had a decent day. His belly was smaller this morning by 2 cm, so that is good to see. He doesn’t seem to like being picked up and held when he is asleep. This wasn’t an issue a couple of weeks ago, but he is growing and changing. He wouldn’t settle down when I tried to hold him the 1st time, but the 2nd he was quite content until he threw up. We aren’t sure why he did that. It was bile colored and not milky, so it doesn’t necessarily mean that he isn’t handling his food. Time #3 was a nice, long snuggle.
The clot close to his liver has increased in size for the past 2 ultrasounds. They increased the med which is trying to keep it the same size until his body breaks it up.
His lungs are showing more and more signs of lung distress. The nurses who have worked in the NICU and the RTs are saying it seems like BPD. We need God to breathe health into his lungs so getting off the ventilator will not be a long and challenging task. Please put this as a specific prayer request for Matthew.
That’s all the news from our corner of the IWK. Thank-you all for your prayers and support.
C & M (and Little M)
