I apologize for being spoty with my posts! Here is the latest:
Alec reached 6lbs today! His eye exam results were normal, and he took his first full feed at midnight... It's amazing how quickly he is catching on to the feeding thing.
Lilah weighs 5lbs 10 oz today! Her eye exam came back with some questions which is why I was delayed in posting. Her optic nerves are a little under developed. The doctors were concerned about something called Optic Nerve Hypoplasia(ONH). It can cause a lot of different issues with the brain. They tested her glucose and thyroid and both labs came back normal. Then they did an MRI to check her pituitary and that was also normal so this means she has avoided all the cognitive issues related to ONH.
We spoke with the ophthalmologist today. She is not concerned about Lilah having vision loss but she might need glasses when she's older. So we've reached the best possible outcome. We were holding our breath for a minute there!
Here are pictures their Bubby took today.
