Just spoke with the Neonatalogist and Caleb is doing very well for his gestational age. I was able to spend about 3 hours with him early this morning and even held him, skin-to-skin, for about 1.5 hours. He is S-O-O-O-O tiny compared to Josiah! He slept in my arms for the most part although he did have to complain when the nurse came over to adjust one of the monitors.
The neonatalogist will be removing the umbilical vein catheter (UVC) today and replacing it with a spaghetti IV line. We would like to request pray for no infections as this is a risk.
Also, the specialist is ordering a heart ultrasound because he suspects that Caleb's ductus arterious is still open. If small, then they will treat with liquid ibuprofen. Thanks again for your many prayers!
Joshua, Carrie, Josiah and now baby Caleb
