Carter is now up to 3 lbs 12 oz. - improving with each day!  He was having some issues with spitting up, so they x-rayed his belly and said everything looks good. They think maybe they increased the amount of food too quickly. They have reduced it a bit and he seems to be tolerating it now. Courtney got to give him a bottle today to see what he would do with it. He took it for a while but then his vitals dropped, so they stopped. The nurses say he basically doesn't have much strength and stamina to remember to suck, swallow, breathe, and let his organs work all at the same time yet. Normal according to them, but worrisome for us! Great Grandma & Grandpa Myers went with Courtney today. I will be going with her on Thursday. So far we are still looking at mid-October for bringing him home.
