He's past the two kilo mark! To be more precise, last night he weighed in at 2.145kg which is 4lb 11.5oz - an amazing 5.5oz increase in three days. He must be be guzzling more during his daily breastfeed than we had given him credit for.
He had another blood transfusion on Wednesday evening as his HB had dropped again with all the blood he's had taken for routine tests during the last few weeks. The transfusion went fine and he's been fairly stable all week on low-flow. His desats certainly seem to have been more infrequent and less severe.
His caffeine has been stopped today but he is still on seven different medications every day. However, the hospital staff are pleased with his progress and are talking about starting to plan his discharge with a view to him being able to come home within the next four to eight weeks if he can maintain his current progress...
