He has increased his EBM intake to 6 ml/hr! It has increased so much over the course of 2 days. So now he needs abt 144 ml for 24 hrs. My EBM supply for now is about 50-60 ml per session, I'm achieving about 6-7 sessions a day so I gathered it should be enough for him for now. :)
He is also off the TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition) as this was fed through the IV tubes to him and it will decreased accordingly when the EBM intake increases. When he is fully on EBM, the term for it is "Full Feed". He is still on glucose drop though and the attending nurse said they will probably remove it today or tomorrow. so happy, then he won't need the long line (IV tube) anymore.
He now weighs 1145g, increased about 30 over g over 2 days. Checked with the attending nurse if there are any new cranial ultrascan results but was told there isn't any done these 2 days.
Anyhow, we've decided on a chinese name for him, his name will be Reyes Lee Yu Zhe (李宇吉吉). Pretty cool eh!
That's pretty good news to be heard! Nice name Reyes has got! And he looks very well!
ReplyDeleteReyes looks very good and happy to see his great progress....
