Day 68: April 23
Ry lost his IV again this afternoon… it started leaking, so they had to pull it. His nurse requested that we just go to full feeds since the IV fluids were only 3ml/hour.
He seemed to tolerate the feeds throughout the afternoon. He’ll be back to his 53ml’s as of his 9pm feed. I’m hoping he tolerates it well, especially now that he’s being vented.
His vent settings were dropped again at 6. Making good progress! When I popped in this evening, his nurse had just given him a bath and got him all snug and tucked in for bed. She said he wasn’t super happy about getting his head scrubbed, but tolerated the bath and care time really well. Considering how much they moved him around, he hardly dropped his sats, and surprisingly didn’t throw up the meal he was just fed. It’s so nice to see him feeling so much better. I’m hoping we can continue this sort of progress!
