Tyler went to see his pediatrician on Tuesday. I had discussed with her my concerns about Tyler having 5 low heart rate alarms. A couple of them he had turned that awful color. She contacted Tyler's NICU doctor and they decided it would be best to increase Tyler's oxygen from 1/8 liter to 1/4 liter. It has worked so far. He has only had one low heart rate alarm since. He does have thrush. Nothing major. Just gave him some meds to clear it up. His tongue looks horrible with all those yucky white spots on it. He weighed in at 6 lbs 1 oz. Hard to believe he started out at 2 lbs. He is going to Riley next week to see a Pulmonologist (lung doctor). The doctor isn't concerned about anything, just wants to have a specialist confirm that everything is okay. In a couple more weeks a physical therapis and developmental therapist will come to the house to evaluate him to see what kind of therapy he will need. Hoping he doesn't need a lot, but obviously he will need some therapy being born so premature.
