This is the website of Luis Thomas Gallant. Luis was born on June 16th, 2001 at 24 weeks gestation. Luis was 1.42 lbs and was 11 7/8 inches long making him a micro preemie. After 4 months in the hospital and 6 months home on oxygen, Luis has grown up a healthy active child. Luis' BlogFriday, September 14th, 2001Luis is doing really good! Weight: 5lbs .02oz Oxygen: 23% He is up to 42cc of milk every 3 hours. He just got his orders changed and will be drinking 5 bottles and have 3 tube feedings a day. ///////// :) ///////// Thursday, September 13th, 2001Weight: 4lbs 14.5oz Oxygen: 25% Luis did good with his 4 feedings today. He needs to get up to 8 feeding by bottle. Today he had his eyes checked, there has been no change since the last checkup which was Zone 2 Stage 2 of
Retinopathy of Prematureity (ROP). Wednesday, September 12th, 2001We spoke with the nurse about when we can expect him to come home. She says it's hard to tell but he needs to be drinking his 8 bottles before he can come home. After he reaches his 40 weeks they will evaluate the idea of the G-tube(stomach tube) and the coming home on Oxygen.If he needs the G-tube he will need to undergo surgery and will be in the hospital for at least an extra week to recover. Taking the tube out is done in the doctors office. If he comes home on Oxygen they will run a whole bunch of tests to see how much he will come home on. The oxygen will be a constant flow of 100% the difference will be in the liters he will take per day. |
