Day 64


Parker had a good day today. The only time he was in his crib was when we did his cares, and when we went to lunch. He's just so snuggly, we didn't want to put him down! The nurse this morning said that he took a full 30cc of his bottle. Such a champ! But because his ostomy has been putting out a lot of diarrhea, he's back to his continuous feeds at 10cc/hr. And he gets Imodium to help as well. John talked to the surgeon, and there's talk about him having his surgery next week to reconnect the small and large intestine. I'm a little nervous about surgery again, but he needs this and we know he'll do well. His lungs are getting stronger. He is off the high flow nasal cannula and on regular nasal cannula at 1.5L. Hopefully we can continue to strengthen his lungs before surgery. Glad for the good days he's been having.
