These boys are going to have some stories to tell when their older! My little Alexander likes to hold his breathe when he gets mad which cause his heart rate to drop. Its called a Brady. Because of this and because he came home on oxygen, he has a omnipotent that tells is when he drops his heart rate. He generally brings himself back with little or no stimulation at all. Well last Sunday he dropped his heart rate and required lots of stimulation so we was brought to the hospital and monitored for 24hrs and sent back home. Then Thursday night he did it again and we brought him in. He had a cpl more episodes there so we decided to transfer him to childrens. He was transferred by helicopter (kinda scary) and is doing ok. Still having Bradys here and there but not bad. They think he caught a virus which is making his episodes worse. They are monitoring him for the next cpl days, they have never had a baby this young intentionally hold their breath so they want to figure out why he doing that. Other than that hes weighing 9 1/2 lbs and eating 6 oz every 3-4 hrs. Christian is doing great! Weighs 8 1/2 lbs. eats 3 oz every 3 hrs. Therapist said Alexander is right where he should be and Christian is a cpl mnths ahead of where he should be.
