It has been a pretty good day and night for our little man. They tried to feed him yesterday, and it was not successful- the barium was still moving through his system and not allowing the formula to pass, so they decided to give him a rest for today. They started him up again at about 6 this evening, this time with breast milk, and he had a pretty good size stool a little after 8, so as long as he continues to tolerate it, they'll continue to feed him. The respiratory therapist was also able to bring him down from a rate of 30 to 27 bpm. He's still on 35% oxygen, but that's alright. He has been happy and stable all day with his usual de-sats here and there, but he doesn't drop to low, and he can bring himself back up pretty quick. We are just really happy with the progress he's making, and if he has a few more good days like this, maybe we'll try the Kangaroo Care again. Yay Bryton!
