Day 27

Day 27

Day 27: 980 grams or 2 lbs 3 oz. Jackson is our little pooper. Before this I never thought I would be so excited about poopy diapers. But now they mean he is ready for milk. He's been doing great with the milk they've been giving him. So they are going to start increasing milk by 1 cc every 9 hours. His blood and spinal culture are both still negative for infection. Woohoo! They will continue antibiotics through Friday just to be safe they cleared everything. If he keeps doing well they will try him off the vent again Friday or Saturday. Dr. Nold is going to take the UAC out tomorrow. She doesn't want any bugs clinging to it to cause problems. Also there is risk of a clot the longer it is in and it's been in two weeks. His hematocrit is low again at 28 so he will be getting blood tomorrow. He is doing great and will hopefully start to sail once he clears this nasty infection. FOJSP!!!
