Day 88 of Life - September 14th
Another bath and weigh night and the results are in...the little Turkey now weighs 2435 g (5.368 lb). Some of the weight is coming back.
They turned his oxygen up today, not because he needed it, but Dee and Ma talked and have decided to concentrate on oral feeds. The lowered oxygen was really interfering with his oral feeds, so they have turned it up (to 0.1 L/min) and it will stay there, at least for now. When babies go home on low-flow oxygen, they always start out at that rate and since everyone says that Sha will be going home on oxygen, there doesn't seem to be much point in reducing it any more.
So, with his oxygen turned back up, the little Turkey was able to take a full bottle at 3:00! No problems now!!! Ma will go back to the hospital at 12:00 to try again and hopefully, will be just as successful.
