Benjamin had a couple of drugged up lazy days which he so needed after his surgery. He’s now down to 3 mcg of fentanyl (from 4.5). He’s been having more spells that alarm us, but we were told this would happen because he’s so premature. His blood levels were also a bit off this morning so he needed another transfusion. We can’t even keep count as to how many blood transfusions he’s had since he was born. He’s also on a powerful antibiotic as well as perinatal nutrition. He’s weighing in at 1 pound 12 ounces, but this isn’t accurate because it’s mostly fluid weight that he should eventually lose.
