Well Logan has done well again today. However he had just a tiny bump this morning. The doctor for today tried to turn down the flow from 1 1/2 to 1 liter on his nasal cannula. I was holding him when they turned it down and he didn't like that much. He de-sated for most of the next 10 min. or so, so they turned him back up to 1 1/2 liters of flow and he was fine then! Such a little stinker! He just does things when he wants. I suppose he will stay on this for another 3-4 days and then they may try to turn it down again. Everyone cross your fingers!
They did weigh him last night and he gained an ounce! He is up to 3 lbs., 8.7 oz. The doctor also increased the fortification in his milk. So he will get 24 extra calories per ounce instead of 22 calories. Just a slight increase.
I spoke with the nurse this afternoon about doing k-care twice a day and she said that she didn't see why I couldn't do this since he is tolerating it well now. This is great news! Hopefully his new doctor will agree with this tomorrow.
