Luke had another event last night that required the nurses to stimulate him. They waited to see if he was going to self recover but he did not. So they had to rub his belly to get him to get his rates back up.  I went to visit him today and the nurse said the docs are going to order an MRI, another sleep study and  then another test where they stick a probe down his throat through his nose to check the amount of acid in his stomach... due to the acid reflux.

the doctors are concerned because he is not getting much better.  They feel like he should be doing much better then he is right now.   They are going to check for brain bleeds with the MRI.

So we are back to day zero and we have no clue when he is getting out.  Its all going to depends on the test results and his events!!

 

Please keep Luke in your prayers.....  I know hes not in terrible shape and hasnt been in the NICU as long as some babies have been but I want the other half to my twins home with his brother.

Sweetie, your whole family is in my thoughts.  I'm so sorry that this seems never ending.  I have faith that he will get better fast.  Poor little guy has been through so much.  Your amazing for how strong you are......I don't know that I could handle it.  Please keep me updated.  Lots of love and positive thoughts for your family.

I have twin boys who were born at 27 weeks and went through what your son is and a lot more. They were in the NICU for 3 and 4 months, If you would like to talk to me about your questions and concerns I would be more then willing to listen and give you advice. I only wish when I was going through it I would have had someone to talk to. My name is Rachel.
