Henry Takes a Step Back

I used a similar title before. We shouldn't be surprised. We were told many times that NICU life has its ups and downs. I was surprised, though. Henry is back on CPAP. It's Tuesday night as I write this and it happened on Monday afternoon. His lungs need a little more help. I was blue about it yesterday but I am back on track today. Before it happened he also had a hearing test and they detected a problem in one of his ears. I was / am blue about that too but he needs more tests first and they have to be done when he isn't on CPAP. Oh, and remember the ROP thing? We still haven't had any good news about Henry there either. Monday was not a good day for our darling Henry. We feel past worrying that he is going to die but we still have to live with real worries that he will have issues seeing, hearing, breathing and eating. Or maybe have no issues with any of them. In other news, he got his vaccinations today. 

Charlie did get good news about his ROP. He is also growing at a good rate without us having to try the Intralipids plan that I have been mentioning for over a week and his head ultrasound read was really positive. 

He says hi.
