Day 28 of Life - July 16th

Sha had a bad chest X-ray today...again confirming that his lungs are damaged. However, he is still doing very well. They moved him to a different type of incubator today...which is a good sign. He is also up to 8 cc of breastmilk every 2 hours! Go little piggy, go!!! They won't increase his feeds beyond that point until he is off the morphine, which they are still giving him to keep him comfortable. They won't stop the morphine until he is off the Jet ventilator and back on the conventional one. Unfortunately, there is no news on how long this will be...but he will continue to receive 8 cc every 2 hours, which is pretty darn good! Otherwise, another quiet day for the little one in the NICU.
