30 weeks old!

Finn turned 30 weeks old on June 28th. We had a bit of an eventful week - last Monday, the doctors did another echo and noticed that his Patent Ductus (PDA) was open more. They proceeded to give Finn another course of Indecin which meant he had to stop being fed and just get IV fluids. We were very anxious about this because if it didn't work, it would mean they'd have to close the PDA by surgery. By Friday, they did anothe echo and saw that the PDA is now very small, less than a 1 mm open. They have decided to see if it will close on its own since it's so small and Finn isn't showing any other symptoms of a PDA like needing supplemental oxygen. By Saturday, Finn was being fed again through his feeding tube. They don't want to jump to his max feeding right away so he started at 6 ml.
