First I'd like to say I sorry I haven't kept up on this and that I just basically posted quick updates and ran. Honestly I've had the hardest time just in general. I'm hoping to be a better prober!
Yesterday we had our appt where they measured babys growth AND blood flows. The blood flow is still heading steady thank goodness! The ductus venous (artery from liver to heart) is still just flowing one way which is wonderful news! In addition to that which was a huge win all on its own, he's actually grown! 2 weeks ago he was measuring at 443g (1LB) and now he's at 587g (1LB 5oz). This lets us know he's growing! Had he been born under 500g his survival chances would have been seriously reduced. Now he's big enough for all their tubes for breathing and any IVs.
Leo is still measuring 3 weeks behind on his head and belly measurements and 4 weeks behind on his legs so there is still a real possibility that he will need lots of nicu time but for now we bought a weeks worth of more time and that's how we will go forward.. A day and a week at a time.
Ty EVERYONE who has sent us good vibes and kept us in your thoughts and prayers. I'm not sure what gave little man the boost but it really touches me to know so many people are rooting for him!
