Summarised update

Spoke with the doctor on duty when I was there visiting Reyes last evening.

I was glad to see that he is off the glucose drip and on "Full Feed" now. His intake of EBM is 6.5 ml/hr. There's a little bruise on his hand as a result from the needle of the infusion, I hope that recovers soon.

As confirmed by the doctor on duty last evening, Reyes' PDA reopened but as the earlier doc commented, they are not going to administer any medication to him as it might not be effective since he is more than 14-15 days old and also due to the side effects of the drugs. So, they are going to keep the CPAP on him until he is ready, maybe till he is about 1.3 kg.

The cranial ultrascan results from 30 Mar 09 came back to indicate a cyst of 3mm, which is negligible according to the Doc.

So now all we can do is to wait patiently for Reyes to grow bigger. Reyes, you have to jia you oh! Mummy will be here for ya!
