Day 22
Angie got to hold Jack again today! We also took his temperature and changed his diaper. While he was being held it was time to feed him, so the nurse let me help give him his formula. He is up to 17ccs, which is a huge jump from the 1cc he was getting just a week ago. We think that he will not be getting too much more now because he is getting a formula that has a higher calorie content so it is not so much a matter of volume anymore.
Jack’s breathing is improving a little everyday. His oxygen is set at the same as room air, but he is set to take a breath only 30 times per minute. He was set at 40 yesterday. It means his lungs are working better and he is also taking more breaths on his own. Even though his vent is set at 30, he is actually taking about 45 breaths. 15 without assistance!
