March 5, 2009

Well, Vann is back on the nasal canula. He was starting to tire out and not have enough energy, so the NICU team thought giving him a little help might help him progress. The nice thing is that he is on very very little settings. We are working hard on trying to teach him how to eat. When I am not able to be there for his feedings, they will start to introduce a bottle. They tried for the first time today and he did great. Once we go home, Vann will have to take some feedings from the bottle as he will have some vitamins that he will take daily.

Vann had another head scan today.....and the ventricles look great. They are very small compared to what we are used to seeing which is awesome. Jeff talked to the Neurosurgeon today and he was very happy. He said we will continue to do head scans every month. Once we go home, we will continue to do routine follow ups with Dr. Cherny (the Neurosurgeon). 

We haven't had a chance to take too many pictures, so sorry. We will make up for it!
