Day 85 of Life - September 11th
The little one's lungs are clear, confirmed by a chest X-ray today. He started back on oral feeds today and took 10 mL by bottle for his 3:00 feed. For the next 3 days, they are going to go easy on the oral feeds, concentrating not on how much he is getting, but on how he is taking it.
It is obvious that Ma has been in the NICU too long...it's now official. She has felt for awhile that the little Turkey has an umbilical hernia, which is a small hole in his abdomen at the belly button. This means that his belly button sticks out further than it should. Umbilical hernias usually correct on their own, when the child starts walking. Sometimes surgery is necessary to correct the hernia, but this will not be considered until after the little one starts walking. Anyway, Ma had Dee (one of the NPs) confirm her diagnosis today!
Otherwise, a quiet day for little Sha...may tomorrow be just as quiet!!!
