I am posting this Tuesday morning, sorry about that. Supposedly Isaac had another 15 gram weight gain yesterday. However, they are still having a hard time with consistency in his weighing. So the nurse he had yesterday, Alex, was frustrated with it again. We like her. She is truly one of his advocates for him progressing. She even took pictures of him yesterday because she knew we didn't have any without any of his headgear. He might need a red blood cell transfusion too as his count went fro 38 to 32 in the past week. They are going to wait to see for certain but it is a concern. They are going to x-ray him today to see if the water on his lungs has gone down.
So we are in a holding pattern still, waiting for him to grow in stature! When he grows it will do so much for his little body and his lungs. Alex also yesterday noticed that he had been swaddled for the past few days and his isolette was colder than she thought it should be. This would cause his body to have to regulate it's own temperature which cause him to lose weight as well.
If it were only that easy for us adults to lose weight.. I would stand outside, in the dead of winter, with only my undies on just to lose 5 lbs!!!!
