Greyson is one week old



It seems like a life time already. I guess it is. Attached is a pic that show's how tiny he is. Or how big my nose is, depends how you look at it.



Also, he's responding well to his light treatment. It's kind of like being under a french fry warmer,... mmmmm, french fry.... He get's to wear these cute little sunglasses. He looks totally cool.



Latest new is that his red blood cell count is low. He started out a little low due to mom's touch C-Section. And the organs that develop those healthy red blood cells are still a little premature. So we're in a wait and see pattern, much like with mom before the delivery. The good news is that he is able to eat now, which means he receives a small amount of mom's milk through a line that goes into his stomach. His esophagus and swallowing muscles aren't quite ready yet. Totally normal for some one as early as him. His meals consist of 3 - 5 mls of milk. Not much, but way up from where we started.

  1. Before you know it Greyson will be stacking a foot stool on top of a small chair on top of a large chair to reach the top of the refrigerator to get the toys that were put in time out. Ask me how I know.

    Thanks for the blog to keep us up to date!
