Day 79
1750 grams (only 50 grams to go before he can get in a crib!)
3 pounds 13 ounces

Ryan had a good day yesterday. The doctor looked at his eyes again. Ryan's eyes are at a "stable stage 2". Since they didn't get any worse or better the doctor is planning on checking Ryan's eyes again in 1 week.

They increased the number of bottles yesterday. Ryan gets 2 out of 3 feedings by bottle which averages out to be about 5 or 6 per day. I fed him at 3 and 6. He ate the 3:00 feeding very well. The 6:00 feeding I could tell he was a little more tired. He ate well for most of the bottle, but the last 5-10 ml he was really sluggish. He did manage to finish the bottle within 30 minutes.
