Lyon & Ka'ili

Time with Grandpa

Lyon is weighing in these days at 8 lbs 11 oz. Almost the size of a holiday turkey.
His ROP (Retinopathy Of Prematurity) hasn't quite resolved itself yet, but things are looking good. Next Oahu appointment is Jan 7th. He makes 5 mos old on Jan 23rd and finally outgrew his preemie clothes!".

Another Eye Check-Up

It's been another two weeks and so off we went to Oahu for the day to go see Dr. Wong, the eye guy. Very happy to report that Lyon's eyes have improved yet again! His blood vessels seem to be growing well and there is only one tiny area that still needs vessels on the outer rim of his eyes. Dr. Wong also said that he thinks this will happen soon and Lyon shouldn't have any problems with his eyes. Yet another victory in our long journey from 1lb 12oz!!!

Lyon has also made the 6 pound mark (6lbs 4oz to be exact). As you can see from the pictures he is growing well and getting a nice honey brown color to his skin. He loves to be held all the time, which is fine-we know we are all making up for lost time with all those lonely days spent in an incubator for him.

Can't tell you how amazed we are to see a real miracle in our lifetime!
