I Finally Got Some Pictures On The Blog!




As you can tell Matthew has a few people that simply adore him...it's been a long road, but sure has been worth it. Matthew is doing very well. He is now on what is called "off-the-wall" O2, which, if necessary, is what he can go home on (hopefully this won't be necessary). This is the oxygen that we see people use in public, it would be portable for Matthew as well if he needs it. He is taking more feedings by bottle or nursing and is desating (dropping heart rate/O2 levels) less often during feeds. As you can see by the video below, he is 7 lbs today!!! At 35 wks gestation! And still growing :) He is moving on up on the growth scale, but they are not concerned with too much weight gain because his height is in the 90th percentile! Go Matthew!! He is filling out more of his "rolls" and in my opinion looked better today than I have ever seen him! We are ready for him to come home and know it is only a matter of time now.
