Hi Everyone,
As of today, Lyon is 4lbs 9oz(2.08Kg) and doing very well with this breathing and feedings. Around 3pm he is going to have his next eye exam to see if his ROP has become better or worse. If it becomes worse, then they will be doing laser eye surgery probably tomorrow. If it remains the same, then they will just keep monitoring him weekly.
Other great news is that we might be going home very soon! The Doctor said we are aiming for October 18th which is next Thursday! Amazing considering how long and far we have come here. Although we would like to bring Lyon out to meet everyone, the Doctor also advised us to keep him home for a couple months and out of contact with crowds. The reason is because Lyon is coming home in the start of flu season. What could be a cold to us could possibly end up being a severe respitory infection for Lyon due to his preemie background. So please be patient with us in your calls and inquiries to come over and see him. He will make his debut soon and in the meantime we will keep this blog updated with pictures.
Mahalo ke Akua,
Ariki & Marie
