Today we bought Beckham his first car seat and stroller! We were very excited about it since we got the carseat free for buying the stroller, plus we had a coupon and some gift cards, so we really got a good deal. The carseat has a special insert that can be used for babies that are as little as 4 pounds.
Beckham's most recent weight was 2 lbs 13.5 oz. So close to being 1 pound over his birth weight! He will most likely reach that milestone during his next weigh in. He may also reach 3 lbs by the next time he gets weighed.
He is making improvements on his oxygenation too. He has been on the high flow nasal canula getting 3 Liters/min. The percent of oxygen has been between 21%(room air) and 30%. Over the last few days they have been weaning that down. Today they took him off of the high flow, so he is now just getting 0.5 liters/min of 28% oxygen!
One more thing... The other day he had his first eye exam. They look for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), which is a disease of the retina caused by too much oxygen. Beckham's exam was normal. No signs of ROP. Way to go little guy!
THAT IS AMAZING!!! Way to go sweet Beckham!!!
