I am sorry that I haven't posted in awhile. Just been busy trying to get ready for Christmas and spending as much time as I can with Forrest.
Forrest is doing very well. We had a small set back this week when his stomach became enlarged. He was pooping well and not having any residual in his stomach after feedings so they decided to do an x-ray. The x-ray showed that he had quite a bit of gas in his stomach but that it was evenly distributed so it was nothing to worry about. But as a precaution they held feedings for 24 hours. He is just starting to receive food again and they are starting him off slow and will work back up to where he had been. None of this has seemed to bother him at all other than he acted REALLY hungry last night after not getting any food all day.
They have also moved him to a normal isolette. He is still enclosed but he no longer needed the "high tech" bed. It is great because it provides more room in his pod for us when we visit. It also is a lot easier to get him in and out of.
Last check Forrest was up to 3 pounds and 3 ounces. It will probably be a couple days before we see any more weight gain since the feedings were held and are starting off so low. But overall he is doing great.
I have some new pictures that I will post tomorrow. Thanks for checking in.
