Carter has had a good day today. His feeds were increased to 36 mL and are still going in over 90 minutes. He has continued to have some reflux issues that hopefully will get better soon as they reduce the flow on his nasal cannula. He is on 2.5 L/min anywhere from 26%-30% concentration. We are hoping that as they reduce the flow his reflux will improve since they say that the high flow plus the tube has a tendency to allow reflux to occur. He was placed back on Lasix today for a 3 day course because they were concerned about the puffiness that we started seeing on Sunday. We may start to see a little weight loss like last time but he has been gaining weight quickly so much of it was probably fluid. He was 4 pounds 6 ounces tonight. He is still in his convertible isolette and maintaining this temperature well.
Just a little glitch for "The Amazing Carter"! He will do great! Sounds like so many wonderful things are going on!!!!!
