In the NICU

our son is known as the Super Star as told to us by the NICU doctor, Dr. Sparks, because he is doing so amazingly well for being 10 weeks early.



We talked with the doctor about how his heart rate keeps dropping (apnea bradycardia) and he basically said that it is common with all preemies because they think they should still be inside mommy and she should be doing all the work for them, it isn't a concern because it is something that he should grow out of when he gets a little bigger.

Good job Tucker - you are a superstar. All preemies are different and he is blossoming so well. The A/Bs do get better as he gets older. I was fortunate that mine never had any of those. Still praying for you guys. Amy
