Off the drip

When we visited Reyes yesterday, he was waiting for us wide awake! I was glad that he was off the drip and his EBM intake has been increased to 9.5 ml/hr.

He is still on the ventilatior machine though. But upon checking with the attending nurse (the nurses there is always different), we were told that it's just 21% oxygen which is normal air and the only reason why he is put on that is that this ventilator machine has an alarm that will go off when there's any leakage, meaning when active Reyes pulls on any of the cords. The previous apparatus was not able to sound an alarm when that happens and its actually safer to be on this machine. In fact, its the same as per before.

I was relieved to hear that as I thought it was some condition that requires for him to be on this new machine. Probably the previous attending nurse did not explain to us clearly I guessed.

His weight dropped a little though, now at 1419 g. Hopefully he puts on more and can breathe on his own without using CPAP. We are also making daily trips to see him, stroke him and hopefully that helps. :)

Was not able to upload any new pics or video of him as they are all taken with Hubby's phone and he hasn't the time to pass it on to me. Will upload when I get a chance.
