Ezra has had a relatively peaceful couple of a days, which we are sooo thankful for!! He received his first blood transfusion on Sunday. He also was diagnosed with PDA (abnormal blood flow that occurs between two of the major arteries connected to the heart). Ibuprofen will be given to him 3 times in hopes to close the PDA. He has a follow-up heart echo on Wednesday. Please pray with us that it closes with the medicine, that way we can avoid surgery.
We keep hearing how feisty little Ezra is from the nurses. We also keep hearing what a miracle he is to have survived with little to no amniotic fluid for 6 weeks. His lungs still developed, and look good on x-ray. My test results came back and there was no infection, white blood cells, found in the placenta. They don't like patients to go longer than 24 hours being ruptured due to infection. So the fact I lasted 6 weeks is truly a miracle of God.

I got to spend two hours doing skin to skin time with Ezra today!!! He did great and kept his temperature up the whole time! As long as he stays stable I can snuggle with him once a day! :) Thank-you for the prayers, they are being answered!
Tomorrow I'll share how we came up with Ezra's name....
