More belly issues
Pierce had been doing so well on his feeds and all of a sudden his little belly is swollen again. They didnt see any more NEC but have no ideas why his belly is so swollen yet again. He has been on 12cc every 3 hours and doing fine and then his belly started to swell. They stopped feeds but found it was not NEC or any perforations in his bowels. They restarted them at 6cc and he seems to be doing ok but his belly is a little swollen. So here we go with the belly issues again. I really want him off TPN soon before it starts to harm his liver. It just seems like he is never going to come home.

I know you have gone through so much and it hurts that you have more to go through. Just remember that the stay in the NICU seems the longest in the final stage before coming home. Pierce has been such a fighter that there is no way he's going to let a couple of cc's of formula hold him back.
Your boys and your family have been through so much. I have faith that it everything will be fine and Pierce will soon be home with Lincoln
