What they keep telling us is that every day that he is stable, is a good day. Today was a good day. Uncle Roland came to visit, as did grandpa Ray.
Oh, actually, something big did happen. Jack is no longer jaundiced, so they took away the blue light that he has been cooking under for the last week. Also, his transfusion seems to have gone well, but they are continuing to monitor him for NEC. Come to think of it, he also had an X-ray today, to have a look at his intestines. The results came back fine,but some of his organs are a bit distended, which is a common side effect of the CPAP , the positive air pressure sometimes leaks air into his other organs and his stomach. They tell us its no biggie
So, I guess today was actually kinda busy for the little dude after all. Anyways, more pics for a demanding audience…
Since the blue light is gone, he doesn’t have to have his eyes covered anymore.

Awesome!!! Glad he’s coming along. It’s amazing what the UV can do. Keep rocking, Jack!
