a mild setback
They put the ventilator back in. Apparently he was working too hard on the CPAP, and his blood gas tests weren't good, so they put him back.
On the positive side, they've upped his feeds from 6ccs to 9ccs of breast milk every 3 hours. He's now weighing in at 2 pounds, 5 ounces.

Wellllll...we know he's a Troxel! The boy likes to eat! :-)
*laughs*
Yeah.... I have to say, I'm a little afraid of what the food bill will be once he comes home and learns to eat solid food!
And hopefully his little lungs'll mature soon, so we can get him back to the nasal cannula-- that seems to bother him the least. I'm not asking for no breathing help for him, I'd just like to see him off the tube.
