Follow-up Appointment

Auntie here...filling in for Ma tonight, so bear with me. The little Turkey went to the DFC for another follow-up appointment today. They looked him over, weighed him, tested his oxygen requirements and chatted with Ma about his progress at home.

Physically, little Sha seems to be doing well. He still has immature head movements, but they have improved since his last visit and the exercises that Pa does with him really seem to be helping.

Ma and Pa have successfully switched the little one to "on demand" feeding, which means that they feed him when he is hungry and don't wake him up if he is sleeping. This, thankfully, means that Sha is pretty much sleeping through the night, going to bed around midnight and sleeping until 6:30, when Pa gets up to go to work. However, Ma, being the night hawk that she is, still has difficulties going to bed when her son does...as you can tell by her late night posts on the blog!

After his clinic visit today, his oxygen has been decreased! Yippee!!! He is now down to 1/16 L/min.

His new weight is 10.5lbs!!! What a turkey! And he continues on his diet of (shameless plug)...When you wanna be sure, NeoSure! Yum. Yum.

Everything is progressing as expected and their next visit will be the pediatrician!

Love,
Auntie
