So much to update!

(Original appeared April 20, 2016)

I’ll try to move through this quickly and fill in details later.

1. His heart PDA is still there but it is mild to moderate. In fact, it apparently closes most of the time so it’s not detected. He will have another round of meds that should seal the deal.
2. His chest x-rays continue to show that his lungs are struggling. We hope with time, and when the PDA is fixed, that this will get better. The doc said that his clinical signs are all solid despite the lung issue.
3. Daddy got to swab his mouth with milk! W00t! What a rush. He clamped down on that swab like it was his job. I hated for the experience to end.
4. He tried his first pacifier. Yes they make them that small. He seemed to like it so we may try it later. The nurse even sent us home with a 2nd pacifier so big sis could see how small it is.

We should know more after the afternoon rounds.
