Mom & Dad's Anniversary

Archer made a lateral move today from the oscillator to the ventilator. This is due to the fact that he was not doing so well around 1:00pm today. His stats were falling pretty low so they decided to make a change. He has been doing pretty good since this change. Whether he is on the oscillator or the ventilator, the overall goal is to get his pressure settings down and help him require less additional oxygen.
Archer's blood pressure has been in a good range in the last 24 hours, ever since taking him off the breathing treatments. He is still taking dopamine to help his blood pressure. He will not be able to receive milk until he is off this medication.
Mom and Dad celebrated their fourth anniversary today with their new son. Archer gave the gift of explosive poo in light of this celebration. There is no number assigned for what happened in, and outside of, his diaper. "Archer" also made some decorative signs in the NICU to help them celebrate. Mom and Dad will stay close by overnight and will get to see him early in the morning.
Archer received a decorative christmas ornament, with his picture inside, provided by the NICU staff. He also received a new Kate's Kart book: The Little Drummer Boy.
