Blood Work Again

So we now know that Hunter had kidney stones. That's what caused the blood in his urine the other day. They don't know what caused the kidney stones though so they are going to be doing a variety of tests to see. He will have some blood tests in the morning and they will collect his pee over the next 24 hours.

I was reading online and it sounds like kidney stones are pretty common in preemies, Nurse said that there are at least three other kids in the NICU who also have kidney stones. I don't know much about it, my main concern is whether or not is likely to happen again. Nurse said that she didn't know and that will depend on what caused it.

He is still on the IV and not on formula, but Nurse says that they will change him back over to his formula tomorrow. She also says that they will increase the size of his meal again. He's growing so fast - he doesn't fit into any of his preemie outfits any more. We brought in some bigger ones and Mommy donated his old outfits to the hospital to use for other preemies.

He is actually "due" in two days (Thursday). It's hard to imagine Mommy still being pregnant since Hunter has been with us for nearly three months now.
