All went well with our visit to see Dr. Petty this morning! Adam was in a good mood and Dr. Petty was pleased with his progress. Adam weighs a little over 18 lbs. now. He is taking in 33 cc's of formula an hour (we are increasing this by 1 cc every 5 days now). Dr. Petty approved a little bit of a longer break from the TPN. It will now run over 14 hours a day, giving Adam a 10 hour break from the IV line. We are now moving to a monthly appointment schedule, so we'll go back in August. After our visit, we picked up Adam's prescriptions and visited a few of the nurses in the NICU.
After 5 months in the NICU, all we wanted was to have our baby home with us. But, we can't help but go back and visit each time we are there. We really miss our extended family in the NICU at Brenner's!!
Tomorrow, Adam has another busy day: play therapy with Dana in the morning, our first CAP-C interview after lunch and OT with Natalie in the afternoon.
