Breastfeeding with Daniel went well yesterday, but today he was too tired today after his eye exam to put in the effort. Unfortunately, he has developed a bit of stage 3 retinopathy in both eyes, requiring the doctor to check him again early next week. If it progresses to plus disease with abnormal vessels developing, he will need laser surgery to help correct the problems. Sofia's eyes for now are stable and the same as last week's exam.
Sofia has been holding steady on her oxygen level over the last few days, but hasn't budged on her settings. The doctor would like to start inhaled steriods once some of the collapsed areas of her lungs have inflated. We hope this will be soon. She was also started on prevacid for the reflux, to help any inflammation of her airway.
