Thursday Update.

Well, there hasn't been anything too exciting happening with Collin and we're okay with that. He's still pretty boogery from the canula but the nurses are keeping an eye on him. They also started him on iron everyday to help his blood and muscle growth. The nurse practitioner gave us a little more information about Collin's hernias today. His umbilical hernia is normal and could cause him to have a slightly outy bellybutton. His other hernia is one that we're going to pay attention to. It's in his lower belly. Apparently when his "man parts" descended, a little bit of bowel came down with them. This is also a common thing, it's not causing him any pain or anything. It could eventually cause some blood flow problems down the road, so when he's around 6 months or so he may have to get it operated on. Thats still a maybe though, and even if he needs it its a quick surgery. Other than that his breathing is still great, and he's handling his food well. Right now mommy's holding him and he's lifting his head!
