Landon Holds His Own

Landon is continuing to do very well after the transfusion. He lost 5 grams (he has been hanging around 925 for a few days), but he has not been desating nearly as often. In fact, I think he only had a slight desat once last night =). Because he is doing so well, they lowered the pressure again on his cannula to a 2. He seemed to do very well at that level during the time I was there. They even fed him while I was holding him and he stayed strong. In the past week, he would almost always desat while being held and fed. The cutest moment came right before feeding time. Landen kept picking up his head (really…this little guy can already pick up his head quite well) and looking at me trying to get me to feed him. Of course the tube is still his method of feeding, but he seems to sense that it should come from people and not tubes. Hopefully in the next week or so he will begin bottle and breast feedings. More good news – the brain scan revealed good results, which we interpret to mean the Level I bleed hasn’t gotten worse. So with all the good news today, let’s all cheer Landon on to keep growing and gaining weight.

  1. Hey Sarah, Jason, and Landon!
    I have been following the bloq almost every day and love being able to check up on Landon often to see how he\’s doing. It\’s great how you keep this up so friends and family can stay in the loop, and it\’s great how you remind us to think of all the other babies that are struggling right now too. Sounds like Landon is doing amazing and he looks adorable too!! Hope all continues to go well!
    Love,

  2. I get so excited everyday when I log on to go straight to your BLOG and see how Landon is doing. His progress puts a big smile on my face and relief in my heart.
    I am sure that he will continue to grow so fast that soon he\’ll really be in your arms, Sarah, for nursing. You sure have a big support group out here cheering you all on!

    Love,
