Don talked to one of the nurse practitioners yesterday. Mabry is doing great respiratory wise but needs to work on feeding. They will try to ween Alex to 1/4 liter oxygen soon. He also needs to gain weight consistently and be off diuretics.
Overnight Alex ate 60-70 ml at his feedings, but only 37ml at 9am. Usually the 9am feeding has vitamins in it that he doesn't like, so that may be why. He only gained 5 grams yesterday, they would like him to gain 25-35 grams per day. Mabry doesn't mind the vitamins. She ate 55-60 ml overnight & 60 ml at 9am. Mabry gained 35 grams yesterday. Her blood pressure is a little lower since starting the medication yesterday.
