Vann is still having his apnea spells during feedings, something common to preemies born before about 34 weeks gestation. He will grow out of it, but his hemoglobin levels have been borderline on the low side, so they will do a CBC (complete blood count) in the morning to check his levels again and determine whether or not to do another transfusion. It may be contributing to his apnea during feedings. Also the doc has decided to send him home on an apnea monitor. So he may be there a while longer, we'll see. I continue to spend most of the day with him, feeding him and getting to know him better. He's a handsome little guy! He put on some more weight for us last nite - up to 5 lbs. 9.6oz.
