It started as a cold last weekend and by Tuesday had progressed to "time to see a doctor". He is responding well to the antibiotic. A couple days were pretty much spent sleeping but he is now clearly on the mend. We are thankful that Toby was able to avoid this complication the past couple winters and that his lungs are bigger and healthier now and more able to handle this stress. At a follow up visit on Thursday, the doctor said his lungs are doing well. We continue to pray that it clears out completely.
This has disrupted the progress in the feeding department. He has just not been interested in eating, though his appetite is beginning to come back. I have temporarily increased his nightly tube feedings, but even so he has lost at least 3/4 of a pound this week.
A Brief Introduction
This blog follows the life of one Tobias, who was born in the 25th week of pregnancy. Despite his minuscule size, Toby has already amassed a great number of people who care about him, his health, and his family. It is our hope that this blog will keep those caring people updated on all the particulars and praises.
There are two main contributors:
Nancy - is Tobias' mother. It is she who actually knows what is going on, and thus will make most of the updates.
Kathryn (ymryson) - Toby's sister, mostly here for technical backup, though she tends to chime in from time to time.
Thank you all for your love and support. We truly appreciate the care and concern you have shared with us during this time.
