Well, Carter is doing about the same today. They've up'd his feeds again to 4 mls every two hours. He is now getting more breastmilk than IV fluid so that is a good thing! He is still having trouble on his respirator. His settings are still good and low, but he has had a lot of secretions in his lungs that they've had to suck out. He is blowing lots of bubbles too. He opened his eyes a lot for us this evening which is good and bad. Good, b/c we love seeing our little man, bad b/c it is so hard to leave for the night when he is looking at us. His weight is now 529 grams. I promise I'll convert these to pounds/ounces here soon.
We are still really scared about what his future will bring. Please keep praying for him every day as hard as you can.

I found a conversion chart that may help people figure out the ball park ounces figure.

Thank you so much for the updates through this blog. I pray for the three of you daily. Remember that God never gives you more than you can handle.
.00220462262 X the number of grams. He is 1.166 pounds.
We are praying for you all everyday.
The crew at Western Hills also wanted me to let you know that they are all praying for you.
