Well, according to Micah’s nurse Pat, his feeding tube is staying out! At his 9 a.m. feeding, he took 60 CCs (2 ozs.) by mouth. Yesterday’s feedings were 50 CCs, 30 CCs + a little breastfeeding, 45 CCs, 40 CCs, 50 CCs, and 50 CCs.
At his weight check around 1 a.m. he was 4 lbs. 15.6 ozs. (a gain of 0.8 ozs from yesterday).
He had one episode of shallow breathing last night at 11:45 p.m. where his heart rate dropped down to 76.
The nurse thinks he will be going home w/n about a week, so she is asking us to have the car seat prepared for his car seat test.
