Day 104

Gestational Age: 39 weeks 1 day
Weight: 2690 grams
6 lbs

They removed the broviac catheter today since they no longer need it for nutrition and it can be a source of infection. They started bolus feedings.... they will feed him 48 cc's over 2 hours and then an hour off.... do this for a bit and then 48 cc's over an hour with 2 hours off so that his belly gets used to bigger feedings all at once. This will prepare him for real feeds. He was at 21% oxygen for most of the day which is room air. All in all things are progressing nicely.
