Doctor's Update: June 5th

Pete here: things are good with Finn.  He's been having infrequent but regular apnea spells - where he stops breathing for a little bit.  It's disconcerting - but normal.  The nurses just need to tap his chest or give him a quick rub to get him going again.  

But he's been tolerating the breast milk feeding very well - so they're going to increase the frequency from every 4 hours to every 2 hours.  Hopefully he'll start gaining weight like a champ!  But he has already been putting a little back on, (he lost a bit over the past week - he was 1 lb and 14 oz as of Tuesday) now he's back up to almost 2 lbs.

Other than that, the doctor had nothing to report - and no news is good news! He seems to be progressing as great as can be expected for a "26 weeker".  We're on our way to go see him now, before I report back to work for a while...  Cheers!!  -PRM
