Well, it has certainly been a nice day after all the shenanigans that happened yesterday. Jack did gain about 20 grams, up to 3 lbs 14 oz, getting oh so close to 4 lbs. By the end of the day/afternoon today Jack was very tired. He had another chest x-ray, it was a little hazy in the lungs so he is getting some antibiotics. They should clear up anything in there and protect against infection. He got an IV for that. Then he got a nice bath, because he was a little stinky. He seemed to enjoy his sponge bath for the most part. Jack also had his eyes checked today. The doctor says that all looks good now, but they will repeat the test in about 2 weeks. They have taken his feedings down to 28ml for the time being to make sure he is digesting and handling what they give him. They also put his oxygen flow back up to 4 liters per minute.
Aside from all the changes he did well today. He didn't have any major incidents of bradycardia or apnea. He had his slight dips, but came back up. We were very glad he didn't give us any scares today, we hope it was just an isolated event.

ReplyDeleteHi, I'm so glad today was an easier day. All of you deserved a lighter day. I couldn't see Jacks face while they were bathing him, but I'm sure it felt great. We love you all and keep up the good work.
