Charlotte's surgery went well yesterday. They only had to laser her right eye, as her left eye is showing signs of regression on its own.
The eye doctor will continue to f0llow her, to make sure the ROP is regressing properly in both eyes, and we're hoping that she won't need a follow up surgery.
Her next eye exam is scheduled for Friday.
In other news, Charlotte is weighing in at 2609 grams, or 5 pounds, 12 ounces. She's almost 17 inches long now, and is taking in 12 ounces a day of breastmilk + fortifier.
She is still on CPAP. Her settings had to be increased after the surgery, so we're hoping that she will be back on a pressure of 7 today, but we know, yadda yadda yadda, "it's all up to her."
Currently, she's on track to be home in the next 5-7 weeks (end of July, early August).
At this point, as long as she's home by Halloween, we'll be happy :)
Glad the surgery went well, I was trying to peek in on her today (like I could tell anything, lol) and she looked like she was "resting comfortably" as they like to say. Sorry to hear it will still be a while till she's out, but Bobby will take care of her. :)
