Benjamin has had a few good days recently. He is starting to really respond well to the lung therapy and his oxygen requirement is starting to improve. The settings are still not where they were pre-move, but he has started to improve over the last few days and is heading in the right direction.
He is still tolerating his feeds and they have continued to increase the amount he gets and is now up to 15 ml every 3 hours.
Next Tuesday, Benjamin gets his first eye exam to see how his eyes are developing. They are also testing for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
Other than that, he is resting and doing pretty well. Please continue to pray for Benjamin's lungs and that his eyes are developing correctly.

Roy and I continue to check this every day and are keeping all of you in our prayers (so is the rest of my family and a sweet little minister I met here in Denver)... I miss you guys and wish I could be in Houston with you... I love the picture with his open eyes, he is such a handsome little guy! We love you!! Amy and Roy
ReplyDeleteHey Porter Family! Glad to hear Benjamin is making steady progress. Not sure if the nurses have mentioned it, but the eye exams are not pretty. Bella did have surgery for her ROP, on both eyes. So she had many exams. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We also have a link to ROP Info on our page. God Bless!!!
