Benjamin had another good day today. His oxygen has been turned down alot...I personally don't think he needs it, but anyways...the nurse changed his canullas and he saturated at 93% the whole time. But no one listens to me:< His lungs sounded very clear today so that is good. His feeds have been going up every 8 hours by 2 mls. Tonight he was at 14mls/hour. We're aiming for 20ish. So we're getting there. We bumped it back to every 12hrs now because Benjamin spit up a couple of times. Its hard to know whats ok and whats not. He seems to be very gassy from both ends, and both times he spit up it came out with a good burp. So I think he's getting air from sucking on his soother like he's starving. The doctor thinks we're still ok. He's pooping great and doesn't seem to be bloated or to uncomfortable. So if things go well he should be close to full feeds by Monday. Then they'll have to work on getting him to tolerate them at a faster rate...So they'll give him a 3hr feed in 2 hours and continue on until he's taking 60mls every 3 hours. Its all a process. He lost a lot of weight in the past couple days, but I think he's losing a lot of fluid from surgery. He's also not getting full feeds, so he'll lose a bit from that. So tonight he was at 8lbs 1.5oz. I still think he's a little puffy, but that will go over time. Anyways, everything is pretty good right now. We're heading in the right direction.
