2lbs...and holding

We held our breath this week as it has been a busy week for Zane, not only did he have laser surgery, have his mixture of feeds change, and yet another blood transfusion but he has finally hit that magic number 2lbs. 
Tuesday Zane has his eyes checked and he was not at stage 3 but right on the verge, the decision was made to recheck his eyes on Wednesday and to schedule him for eye surgery on Thursday.  The surgery lasted about 1 1/2 hours and he tolerated  the procedure well. They did not intubate him but instead gave him some verseed.  Zane being a wimpy white ball kept forgetting how to breathe but his wonderful nurse would give him a nudge on his feet and remind him that breathing was not optional. The surgery has a 75% success rate and it is hoped that he will retain his vision, he will be rechecked on Tuesday.

 

Zane had to be NPO 2x this week and he certainly does not like missing a meal and lets us know about it, he has attitude! His eyes are not as swollen and he really does try to concentrate on your face when you talk to him, the next goal for him is to make the 1 kilo mark...Perhaps Monday night!
