Day 52


Parker is doing well on his SiPAP. Still at his 30 breaths per minute rate, and maintaining his oxygen levels on room air with the occasional oxygen boost. He gets a little fussy now and again from the mask and the nasal prongs that go along with the SiPAP. His PICC line came out today, yay! I was able to hold him for an hour today. It's great being able to pick him up without having to worry so much about a breathing tube coming dislodged. His weight has pretty much been the same the past few days 4lbs, 2 oz. Still needs to fatten up a bit more. His feedings were increased to 10cc/hr plus 22 calorie fortifier. Little guy is moving right along.
