Adam's continuous feedings are now up to 23 cc's per hour, we were able to increase them twice this week. He's done okay with them.... it was a little rough on him last weekend after going up to 21, but he has been able to push through and continue on. Our next appointment with Dr. Petty is on Tuesday.
Today, Adam had his evaluation with CDSA (Child Development Services Agency) to see where he stands on his development. Considering all that he has been through, he doing well. As expected (based on his prematurity), he is functioning at a 4-month old to 5-month old level. The next step is to write his plan (IFSP) for services. We know they are requesting an occupational therapy (OT) evaluation and play therapy through Easter Seals. We should know more about the exact services he will receive in the next month or so.
Cody, on the other hand, has had a quiet week. He was supposed to play ball on Tuesday and Thursday nights, but both games were rained out. Hopefully, he is well rested and ready for a busy weekend!

About Me
- Lisa
- Lexington, NC, United States
- Matt and I met at a wedding in April 2001. He proposed the next April at Mingo Falls in Cherokee, NC. Obviously, I said yes, and we got married on May 3, 2003! Our family consisted of the two of us and my dog, Mutley. Our family grew with the birth of our first son, Cody, on September 24, 2004. He was born three weeks early (due October 16). He had jaundice and spent three days on the bililight. Cody is a bright, fun-loving child! After four years, we added to our family with the birth of our youngest son, Adam, on November 19, 2008. He was born almost two months early (due January 9). Adam was transported to Brenner Children's Hospital that same day. We expected it to be a short stay, but he developed Necrotizing Enterocolitis (an infection in his small intestine). He was deathly sick and had to have surgery to remove part of his small intestine in order to survive. Adam spent the first five months of his life in Brenner's loving care and underwent a total of four surgeries during that time. On April 20, 2009, Adam was discharged and came home for the first time! He is a very happy, laid-back child. Our family is complete!
