What a cutie!

It’s been a busy, busy week for Zachary. Today he had some good news, his chest x-ray looked “fabulous” and his kidneys looked good. FYI, this is the first time we were ever told that his chest x-ray was “fabulous.” He also had some not-so-good news today, he now has ROP in both eyes, but they are both at stage two, which is mild. They still expect that the ROP will resolve itself without the need for the pediatric ophthalmologist having to do anything.
We also learned today that Zachary is going to go on a trip in the next week or two. He is going to take a ride in an ambulance to Texas Children’s Hospital for a few days and check out their NICU. While he is there, they are going to fix his pulmonary stenosis by doing a cardiac catherization. We’ll let you know the exact date when we find out. Texas Children’s is a wonderful hospital that does 1500 – 2000 of these cardiac catherizations a year, which is usually the most in the country with only Boston Children’s Hospital occasionally having more. After he recovers, he’ll come back to Women’s Hospital and give a full report on life in the Texas Children’s NICU.
On Wednesday, Zachary gets his vaccinations and immunizations. They give them to him in two sets, three at midnight and the rest at noon. Then he gets a rest. Thursday he is going to have an upper GI to see why he holds milk in his throat. He has been having some trouble with his bottle feeding. He does not want to finish it in twenty minutes and/or he spits up. His doctors just want to make sure everything is okay.
Please keep our sweet boy in your prayers while he goes through all these procedures. It’s a lot for our amazing boy to go through at once.
Thank you and love to all!
