Started breaking up his feeds again. 30 calorie formula (breast milk is 21 cal) 80+ ml spread out over 2 1/2 hours. Feeds are started every three hours. If he tolerates this fine, they will condense to having the feeds spread to just 2 hours. Central line was pulled. All his meds are oral right now (except his Lovenox shot. his poor little thighs are BRUISED! it's awful). He got his first round of immunizations today.
Malachi's fort. He sleeps much better this way:
Go Colts!
Notice what's missing? The ventilator! They tend to keep it bedside for a couple days "just in case" something happens and he needs to be intubated quickly. It's gone! And he is down to 4 liters of vapotherm. Sounds like he will be weaned to 3 liters tomorrow if he has a stable night!
He was dreaming about something nice! It's good to know he's not ALWAYS in pain.
In motion. Sweet dreams:
