Rounding today:
WBC (white blood cells): 23
Hct (blood count): 40
CXR (chest xray): looked better- Dr. Ballard said looks best in awhile!
Oxygen requirements decreasing over last night
Weight: 2 lb 2 oz
Food: increase volume 3.5ml/hr
Cefepime: 8 of 14 days
Vanco level was low yesterday: increase frequency of dose to every 8 hrs instead of every 12 hrs
Once RJ starts breathing more on his own and doesn't need the extra breaths provided by the NIPPV (non-invasive positive pressure ventilation), then they will switch him to Bubble CPAP!! It's the next step to being on total room air
Dr. Ballard and team very happy at RJ's progress!! Not much change today.
Lil man is doing well on his progress. He was sleeping peacefully when we arrived this morning. He opened his eyes a lil when we said good morning. We gave him his binki and his sats went up. He needs me here continuously to hold that binki in the mouth! :) My alarm went off this morning at 5am for my pumping and I totally got confused. I thought it was my alarm to get up and shower, so I kept pressing snooze. I didn't realize what was happening until almost 6am!!
