Carter is sleepy today. He must have partied all night to celebrate with his reduction in oxygen to 4 L. He is on a slightly higher concentration today than yesterday up to 28% but no concerns about that yet. He is feeding well but still having reflux. He seemed to be on a roller coaster of desaturation today with his feeding. Reflux commonly causes desaturations during the feedings. They do not treat the reflux with any medications but instead they try to make his isolette more at an angle or place him on his right side. Extending the pump time that the milk goes in at also helps. Hopefully this reflux will gradually improve with time and as his belly gets adjusted to the higher feeds. Just a quick update for now. We will see if we have any photo ops for later.
