Another 4 weeks :(

Hello everyone. I spoke with the doctor at Fairfax to get an overall update and he thinks Morgan will probably be in the NICU until he is around 44 weeks which takes us to April 12th. The two major things are his feedings which aren't going so well lately...he tends to drop his heart rate and oxygen saturation and his eyes. They are going to do a swallow study on him sometime this week to look at what the formula is doing while it goes down this throat. They somehow dye the formula so it can be seen on an xray to see if he is either refluxing or aspirating (inhaling some of the formula). I am really hoping the study will show what is going on so his feedings can improve. He had another eye exam today and I guess the ROP hasn't gotten better and it hasn't gotten worse although the ophthalmologist sounded optimistic that his eyes will correct themselves but he will continue to have weekly eye exams. So...other than that Morgan is doing well...what is another 4 weeks when you have already gone through 15 weeks already?
