Good Sunday Morning KSG,
I hope this posting finds all of you well. Thank you again for all of your continued support and prayers. Well this next week will be a big adjustment for our family. Gretchen and I go back to work. Tavyn already started back in day care last week and he adjusted back into his old routine just fine. We'll see how Gretchen and I do?
Kolton is doing great... he is looking more and more like a tiny baby rather than a sock monkey. In other words he is filling out. We have noticed that he is starting to get preferences, like he likes his area quiet... any outside noise gets him upset. He likes to sleep on his belly and he seems to be very content when he is swaddled up.
He is at 3lbs 6ozs and 16 3/4 inches long. This week they will be doing tests to see if he is producing red blood cells as he should be and he will be getting a test to see how his bones are developing. He will also get another eye exam this week to check for ROP. His feedings are going to change now... they will try feeding him every 2 hours instead of the continuous 24 hour feed. This will teach him to work towards eating every 3 hours as most newborns do. So that is about it.
I'm getting ready to head off to see him in a few minutes. Again thank you all for everything that you have done for us!
All of Love,
The Thompson Tribe
