Day 74 of Life - August 31st
Sorry for the late post. Ma and I had a work party tonight and I just got home. Before leaving town, I made sure that Ma was safely in her "new home"!
Well, first off, the Little One was moved back into the NICU today. The good news is that it had nothing to do with him or his progress. The NPCU has actually been closed for cleaning, so all of the patients have been transferred back to the NICU.
The staff are now adding fortifier to his formula feeds and have decreased the amount that they are giving him. He will still get the same amount of calories as before, but with the decrease in volume, hopefully he will stop spitting up so much. If it doesn't help, they may have to put him on a drug called Ranitidine that will help control this.
The only other news is that he had a very successful feed at breast today. He got 14 cc of milk and finished the rest of the feed by bottle! Yeah for Ma and the little Turkey!!!
Tonight was bath and weigh-in night, so I will have a new weight for tomorrow. Stay tuned!
