5lbs
He is so big compared to his 1lbs 12ozs! Jonathan did require a bagging at 12am however they are going to alternate 6hours on canulla and 3 hours cpap. Jonathan received a shot (synergis) today. This is for RSV it helps build his immune system because rsv to us is a common cold but to preemies it is deadly, so from sept till april he will get this shot every month for this season and next! The neos say by age 2 preemies immune system will be that of their peers so he won't need it past next season the other down fall is that jonathan will have to stay in the house those months and no vistors allowed because of the rsv (we have seen to many preemies in picu (pediatric intensive care) for rsv and their reintubated and have i.v's and they may not make it they are so frail) so Justin and I won't take a chance of having to be back in the hospital and see Joanthan suffer, jonathan will have many years with us so a season is not going to hurt anyone! Some family is upset because even when he comes home in march he won't be allowed visitors (according to docs) till May even then you have to be healthy and wash, wash can not exspress enough wash your hands before touching Jonathan! I love all of you but you would be just as careful as I am if it were your baby!
