Coburn Kids

That’s right, our little man is now 100 days old. Whoa. Deep breathes. So we made him a little sign, brought him up an outfit.  Daniel’s mom even brought cookies for all the nurses! They loved them. Quite an occassion to spend 100 days in the NICU.

So, on to some quick updates. Caden is 6lb. 15oz. now, almost 7 lb.’s! He’s taking about 58 cc’s of formula. He’s still doing about 1/2 his feedings, every other feeding by bottle. Daniel even got him to take his full bottle last week. Caden’s ROP tests continue to come back as unchanged. Stage 3 ROP in both eyes with Zone 2 vascularization. This could go on for weeks. *sigh* We have to wait for his eyes to vascularize more before he can have surgery.

He wakes up a lot now. He has great awake and alert periods. He can be a complainer but he’s not really a crier. (Big hurray!) And that neck control of his is outstanding. He lifts his head up from your chest, looks around, can turn his head while on his stomach. It does not fit an adjusted age of a 1 1/2 week old baby. They even put a mobile over his crib to give him more to look at.

Daniel and I believe our hope at having him home before Thanksgiving may be out the window now.  So before Christmas it is!
