Tim, he did get about an hour of steroids but it wasn't enough to close the PDA. They have given him the three rounds of Indicine and we find out this morning if they closed it up. The first two didn't work so we are pretty sure it hasn't worked. You are right about them doing surgery on him and that meaning he is stable enough for it. It's funny about the "wimpy white boy" thing. I know it makes me laugh even though as the producer of said white boy it also makes me nervous.
For anyone who is wondering... they refer to preemie white boys as wimpy because they fair the worst when it comes to early birth. The doctor told me the morning of his birth that if he comes out a black girl I would be in much better shape. To that I agreed, stating that if this kid comes out black I wouldn't have to worry at all!
