My Micropreemie Miracle

Hi everyone. Morgan would have been 31 weeks today but he is 6 weeks and 3 days. He was up to 3 pounds 11 ounces, but he is down to 3 pounds 7 ounces because they have stopped his feeds again. Yesterday he was showing signs of an infection so he was started on antibiotics and his feeding was stopped. The doctors said by the time he is full term he will have the immune system just like any other baby born at full term. He will be more susceptible to respiratory bugs and we will need to keep him away from highly populated areas for a while. Hopefully they will start feeding him again tomorrow...it kills me to think he is hungry, but he might not be feeling very hungry if he isn't feeling well. He was very lethargic yesterday but was more himself today by moving around more. They have also started him on another medication to help his lungs and it might be making a difference because for the past two days he has only needed around 22% oxygen which is good, he was up around 35-45%. He is still sensitive to people messing with him but he seems to be getting a little better with that. Hopefully this "attitude" isn't a sign of things to come when he gets older! I really can't wait until he is off of the ventilator. It kills me to see him crying but he can't make any sound. The ventilator blocks the vocal cords. I got to hold him again the other day for 3 hours. That is about all for now. Hope everyone is doing well!
