Luke had a pretty good day today. He ate well with his daddy this morning from the bottle. I again couldn't be with him today, but I am feeling better and will be able to see him tomorrow (I can't wait!!!). Luke did get held today today by close friends and family, which is comforting to me.
The loom of Luke needing a blood transfusion is on hold. His doctor would like to see Luke continue to make cells on his own regardless how slow he is doing it. If Luke receives a transfusion it could signal his body that he has enough blood and doesn't need to produce more, causing him to make even slower progress. As of right now, it's on hold and they will re-check his blood count on Monday. He also will be meeting with his GI doctor in regards to his acid reflux. He will check and see if his reflux is bad enough to warrant medicine. Less reflux episodes could help reduce his desat spells, which would be better for Luke. It is typical that preemies have more reflux.
I am looking forward to seeing Luke tomorrow and holding him a lot!!
