Maks is doing great! Since he is now 34 weeks corrected gestational age, they discontinued the caffeine. He is officially off his last medication! The only thing he takes now is the multivitamin.
Due to the "ridge" in his right eye, the doctor increased his oxygen goals. Instead of having a goal to maintain oxygen saturations between 85% and 95%, they now want them to be between 90% and 98%. Apparently studies have been done that show that increased oxygenation after a certain gestational age can improve the ridges in the eyes. Whatever works, I guess. He is tolerating the change well but is naturally requiring a slightly higher flow to maintain the higher saturations.
Logan and my dad gave Maks a Priesthood blessing of healing tonight. It was comforting to hear the words of a loving Heavenly Father tell Maks that he will need his sight to accomplish his purposes on this earth, and promise him that he will have the vision necessary to do so.
