Miracle Boy!!

Lincoln is doing well today! His abdomen is no longer as red and doesn't seem as sensitive. His xrays remain unchanged but not getting any worse. They adjusted his medications today to switch out one of the antibiotics and try a new one. He is keeping his stats all stable and looks much better. Dr. Luce said he looks and acts much better but is still sick... although it appears we are out of the danger zone... hopefully! They are only going to do xrays once a day now and continue to monitor him. He had a new eye exam but the blood vessels are still too immature to check for ROP but the dr. said that everything was normal. We've determined that he is indestructible!!! Everyone is amazed by him in the NICU. One of his little tiny neighbors passed away today though.. so that was very sad.. pretty sure it was something to do with her lungs.. she was only 500 grams (17 ounces) when she got to the NICU. She had been in there with Lincoln for about 3 weeks :( . Rescue was on the way to West Virginia to pick up a new very sick baby to move in today so he will have a new neighbor. It's amazing the number of micro-preemies that get admitted to the NICU every week... Lincoln has been in there longer than any of the other ones so we feel like the resident experts!
