1 pound 2-3 oz

Yesterday's update:

Finn's blood pressure medication was D/C'd - good news.

They tried to insert a PICC line and were unable to. They did get a large bore IV into him though. It took about 2 1/2 hours but he did well. This will enable them to get meds into him without constantly having to poke him and look for veins - since this is so difficult to do.

Another ultrasound of his brain is scheduled for sometime this week I think - routine procedure to check for hemorrhaging.

They are going to try to give Finn some breast milk and see if he can digest it - he needs to put the pounds on!

Finn continues to hold his own and fight on!

Blaine and Allison are hanging in there. They are unable to touch Finn yet but are getting constant updates from the nurses in the NICU and can look at him. HE moves his little feet but is sedated at times so that he doesn't hurt himself by moving.

He is still on the ventilator but does take breaths on his own.

Fight on Finn!
