He will be getting fed some of mom's milk soon!! Let's hope he takes to it! Went and saw him today, his color is much better (not so red now). He is off of his breathing tube and now has the one going in his nose. They took one of the tubes from his belly today and we heard him cry a little, made me want to cry too. And he did a big yawn while we were there! Mom got to give him a pacifier today.

We'll see when he grows up! Redneck4sure!! :lol:

Jacob gave us our first scare, they are watching him for any infections, so far there isn't any. They did remove some mucus from his throat today (wednesday).

Jacob is starting to put on some weight! He now weighs 1lb 8oz!! And hopefully next week sometime he should open his eyes.

Your first post said he weighed 1lb 8oz. He still weighs the same. Help me with the math. :lol:

Did the little fellow lose a little and has gained it back or do we have a typo somewhere?

I'll rush you a pic of me so the Jacob will have something worthwhile to look at when he opens his eyes. B)

Got an update......Jacob has two blood clots, one in his left and one is his right ventricle. The one on the left is a grade 4 (bad) and the one on the right is a grade 2. They will be doing another scan on monday and every monday after that to keep an eye on things.

Thanks Dude and Red!! I got a call from Sara (mom) this morning (tuesday) and she told me he had to have surgery on his heart to close a flap, he came through the surgery just fine. And I think he gained some weight too....1lb 12oz. I will keep everyone updated.

Will know more about the clots on monday.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
