Life in the NICU

This is the journal of our life in the NICU with our son born at 23 6/7 weeks gestation. Beau was 1 pound 13 ounces and 13 3/4" long.

September 10th, 2006. Now that they're not bottling Beau, there's not too much to say until his follow up swallow study on Thursday. So I will tell you all that he's doing great! He's still spelling from the reflux, but most are becoming self resolved. This means he's learning how to deal with it himself. That's VERY good and another step towards him growing towards the things a full term baby would do. He's sleeping in between his feeds and wakes up with a voracious appetite. He's also learned that his pacifier doesn't deliver milk... and he spits it out. He definitely wants a bottle. He just has to get the coordination down. Please keep praying for this and Thursday's swallow study and please, enjoy the pics :).
