Today John held Connor for the first time. He even got to give Connor a try at the bottle. Connor realized that it was a lot of work to do the bottle, but he tried. He ended up spitting out just about all he took in. He made sure Daddy had a true experience today, so he filled his diaper just for daddy! We had a good laugh at that and Mommy made sure he got cleaned up after his feed.
We asked the neonatal Dr about the PDA in Logan's heart and about giving him indocin to close it up. She told us it was only effective in the first 2 weeks. His PDA is small, but still open. She told us the only fix now is surgery. As to whether or not that happens is up to the cardiologist. I don't understand not fixing that hole when there are many others. I understand that they wanted to see if it would close on its own, but now we have to look at surgery to close it. GRRRRR. He continues on the CPAP with 30% oxygen and often he drifts his Sats into the 80%'s. We are trying to remain optimistic and realize that if it were very serious they would be jumping all over him. Right now his treatment is diuretics. I think if surgery were needed, we would have him transferred to Riley hospital in Indianapolis. It makes us sad to know he has these heart troubles. Connor doesn't seem so phased by his 2 little holes. He continues to make great strides.
