Baby Cafferkey Update 6/5/08

Hi all,

I thought this website thingy would be an easy way to give you people what you want....updates on Gavin! He is changing and growing every day and (in my opinion) looking cuter each day too.


Today Gavin has only the NG tube(feeding tube thru his nose) helping him out. He has had a few episodes of apnea. These aren't a big deal but of course we want him to grow strong enough that he doesn't have to be reminded to breathe! He is able to get his heartrate back up quickly though. At lunch today, he had 27ml of milk through the bottle (the rest through the NG tube)! His weight is now back up to birthweight; 4 pounds 13 ounces. The ridges on his skull that made him look like an alien are now all smoothed out. He looks and acts like a real baby!
