"Little Swede"?

Tufts of blonde hair continue to grow on Luke's little head and were very visible, especially on the back, which we were able to see very well because they had him propped up on his left side. The nurse today commented on how (at least for now), he looks like he'll have very light blonde hair because even his eyebrows are very light. I said that it seems that Stacy's Swedish genes are coming through and he might end up being a tiny version of her dad, whom most know as "(Big) Swede".

The extra 1ML of milk he's been getting seems to be paying off as he is starting to put on weight, although it's only mere grams at this point, but still a good sign. There is still no sign of the infection they were worried about over the weekend, but he still has one or two more days of antibiotics, just in case.
A few things that we weren't excited to hear is that he has started "spells" of his Oxygen "sat" levels bouncing up and down, which while it is semi-normal for babies in his situation, it keeps the nurses quite busy adjusting his oxygen level and oscillator accordingly. They also mentioned that they've noticed the heart murmur a few more times, so today he recieved another echo scan to check out the PDA valve. It did reveal that it has re-opened, but only slightly and will only require close monitoring for now and hopefully it will re-close on its own. We'll pray that this resolves itself on its own and doesn't require any medicine or surgery.
We ended our visit today by reading his first book "On the Night You Were Born", that was given to him by his honorary "aunties". He seemed to like it very much and fell fast asleep by the end of the story.
