Truman had an eye exam today (his 2nd), to test for ROP or Retinopathy of Prematurity. The results again came back normal. They test for this because preemies are more susceptible to have eye problems... We have been told this is less common now than it was in the 90s and earlier because it was due to the baby receiving too much oxygen and didn't realize the harm it could do if not monitored closely and correctly. Anyways Truman's test show that everything is fine... We are still waiting for the vessels to fully develop so he will have 1 more follow up test next week. Due to this eye exam he was pretty tired when I got there this afternoon and wasn't really up for anything except snuggling which really hurt my feelings...Not!
Oh and side note while changing Truman's diaper today I noticed he had pooped just a tiny bit I questioned for a second if I should wait to change him but a diaper like that isn't uncommon so I continued. His nurse Carla was standing at the side of his isolette I switched his diaper out for a clean one and went to wipe his bum 1 more time when he shot poop across the isolette getting it all over the glass and door next to Carla, the new diaper and his linens. He'd she opened the door he would have hit Carla haha. The two of us giggled for a while and cleaned him and his bed up it was quite a day I love being a mommy!
