More milk for Logan

Well I spoke with the doctor this afternoon and they are increasing his feedings to 1cc every 3 hours! Good work, Logan! He will stay on the same vent settings for the rest of the afternoon and night, because he is only getting one blood gas per day now (in the morning). The doctor said that he was going to take out his tube, but his blood gases weren't excellent yet, so just a little more time. The doctor said that he does not have a blood infection, but he does have a small lung infection. The one antibiotic that he is taking will take care of this. He is on it for 7 days. The doctor said this type of infection is common since there is a foreign body in his lungs and they are not used to this. I got to rub the back of his head today and he actually seemed to like it! The nurse also said that I can start changing his diaper and taking his temp. if I get there at the right time. Keep it up buddy! You're doing very good work, Logan!!

Jill, I am so happy that you now can touch Logan and help with his care. I'm sure he will know mommy's touch, and that is bound to help!

Love, Brenda
