35 weeks and growing

Zane finally joined the kilo club,, that means he is now over  2lbs 2 oz and has maintained that weight for the last 3 days.  His had his eye exam and they felt that the laser 'worked" and that his sight has been saved.  His repeat head ultrasound showed that his bleed is resolving and he has not had any additional bleeds.  Zane also has his first real bottle he only took 5 ml but he was able to suck and swallow without bradying (dropping his  heart rate) or have desaturations.  This is one of those mile stones that you look forward to, hopefully this week he will start to take one bottle per shift and work his way up on his feeds.

He also has a very distinct personality, he responds to his name and although he shows some hypertonia he is able to calm himself and focus.  Zane has made tremendous gains over the last few weeks, perhaps he will come home on his due date...
