Cameron is growing like a weed - must be the calories they are adding to the breast milk! He is now 2.570 kilos which translates to 5lbs 6oz, so we are getting close to desired surgery weight which is good. He is now up to 50ccs per feeding and doing quite well at taking the bottle pretty often, I'd say half bottle, half in the feeding tube.
The head ultrasound on Thursday did not show any significant changes so that was encouraging, as his head circumference continues to grow and the fontanel is filling up with more fluid - you can easily tell by touching.
He will have another head ultrasound tomorrow - Monday to check the fluid levels.
Right now he is not showing any serious signs of stress (easily agitated, lethargic, throwing up) that would lead them to do the surgery prior to this Thursday.
He had lots of visitors this weekend, which we know he loved and we appreciate very much! When we left him this evening there was talk of moving him out of the isolette and into a crib - we'll see!
This will be a big week - we are very anxious about the surgery to say the least.
xoxo mom and dad
