Well Gabriel has been doing good. He is back on the CPAP and he does not like it, he is always pulling at it. He actually got the strap loose the other day. I think what bothers him the most is that he cannot put his hands over his face when he sleeps.
He had his first eye exam today and he has stage 1 ROP. This is an eye disease of premature babies, in which new, abnormal blood vessels grow near the retina, and temporarily or permanently damage it. Stage 1 is when the eye doctor sees a white demarcation line separating the normally developed retina near the back of the eye from the undeveloped retina in front. The doctor says this is common in preemies and it should correct itself on its own so we are going o wait and see. We all know that he will have to wear glasses at some point because everyone in my family wears them.
The funny thing is when the nurse went to go dilate his eyes he would scrunch them up and when she walked away he wold open them. I was told he did this a couple of times and then when the nurse went to do it again he had covered up his eyes. My little baby is funny and already has such a personality. We are really in for it because he is already acting like his mommy. They do say that your children are three times worse than you were, so Mom here is your payback.
