Happy 5 days old Jr! Baby Jacob is still pretty stable. His potassium, sodium, and blood sugar have come into line a bit, so they started him on 1 mL of mom's milk every 6 hours today. This is a tiny amount to see if his gut can get started up. We won't know how he reacts to it for a couple of days. An ultrasound for his head is scheduled for Monday. we will find out if there is any bleeding on his brain. He was too little, unstable, and premature to do any testing this past week. They will then start looking at other tests for his heart, eyes, bowels, and lungs in the weeks to come. Thank you so much for all the love, support, and prayers that have been sent our way. We have felt so blessed through this challenging time and know that our Heavenly Father is mindful of our family and situation.
