day 3 (December 16, 2006)

starting a little young, don't you think?

the doctors started Asher on caffeine today! it sounds funny, but it helps premature babies with spells of apnea (stopped breathing) an bradycardia (slowed heart rate). spells of apnea and bradycardia are very common among preemies; Asher will outgrow them as he gets older, but for now, the caffeine is supposed to help remind him to keep breathing.
