I know lauren already mini-updated you
girls but I will tell you again..Lol
on wednesday they had taken him off his
respirator and moved him to an oxygen
hood. And they had him under the
bili-lights for his jaundice. They were
feeding him 10ml of breastmilk.
On thursday morning they took him off the
bili-lights and gave him a different
respirator that was only giving him 30%
oxygen (room oxygen is 21%) so they werent
giving him much and they took out his
feeding tube and started giving him 15ml.
By that afternoon he was doing so well
they took him off the respirator all
together and started giving him 20ml.
This afternoon they took him off the
lipids (fats) he was getting through his
iv and started feeding him 25ml. He is
still on the warmer because he can't
regulate his temperature yet, but he was
doing so much better today. His
temperature stayed normal the whole time I
held him today.
At this point he is really close to coming
home..
In order to come home he has to..
-be eating 30ml
-be able to regulate his body temperature
-be taken off the iv (they are still
giving him fluids but they are weening him
off them)
so yeah, he is really close..I will have
him home at the beginning of the week more
than likely.
I am going to be adding pictures
periodically to my livejournal so you
girls can go see them there. I added
some yesterday so if you havent seen them
yet the .U.R.L is..
