The Journey of James Weston

Tuesday, March 9, 2021 Update :  James woke up this morning to a busy day.  It started with him getting his bi-weekly ROP test (eye exam). The results came back slightly improved, but mostly the same as last month (Stage 1, Zone 2) which is good.  He also got a new neobar that’s slightly larger (and pink) which is helping with his face not get irritated.  It seems to be a much better fit!  And pink is the new blue, so it’s all good.  🤷‍♂️  James also had a need for a  Blood transfusion. He got 35 MLs. After 4 hours of steady blood flow and his poor little hand having the IV in it, James was able to do skin to skin with Mom for 3 hours.  James weighed in last night at 2220g or 4 pounds 14 ounces.  He’s maintaining his feed at 42 MLs and is having steady bowel movements. Overall, James had a solid day and is recovering smoothly from the NIV the other day.  P.S. You can email James your love and support as often as you’d like: ...
