Carter has been stable today. He remains on 5 L/min with anywhere from 25% to 30% oxygen. His saturation level still bounces all around from the 70%'s to 90%'s. We have found that in addition to certain positions he also doesn't like to have a dirty diaper, which I can't blame him. Maybe that means he will be a tidy kid (fingers crossed). They have left him on 26 mL of milk for now but did decide to increase the amount of time that he gets it. It will now be going in over 90 minutes. Dr. Bernstein today felt that he might still be experiencing some reflux so before they change his oxygen settings they want to see if they can control his desaturations by changing his feeds. He weighs 3 pounds 2 ounces and Dr. Berstein showed us his growth chart today. His head circumference is in the 30-40% range and his weight is nearly 50%. They do not pay much attention to the length since it is difficult to get on a squirmy baby. Here is your Carter pic fix for the day. I think he wants a recliner already.
What a beautiful baby!
ReplyDeleteLook how big his diapers are now!
ReplyDeleteI know Trisha right, it's funny they have had to put him in one that is too big for him because he is in between sizes and keeps messing his baby cave up.
