Archer had another calm day today. The nurses have been trying not to move him around as much, nor poke or prod him. They're even trying not to change his diaper as much, just so he gets as much rest as possible with the hopes of his oxygen levels going down. However, his oxygen levels have stayed about the same, in the 60s. He seems to be a very active child and does not want to rest as much as the nurses would like. We are hoping his oxygen levels will change after he grows more and his lungs develop over the next few weeks.
Archer's milk intake was increased from .5 ml to 1 ml every three hours today. He is taking the milk like a champion.
Archer had another brain scan today and the initial results showed the same as the last two (one small, questionable spot that does not seem to be an issue as long as it doesn't grow).
Archer's chest x-rays today have all shown good results.
Yesterday I met another mother of a 28-week NICU girl, Emberlee, and we were discussing names. She said that the boy name they had picked out was Archer. There must be a trend going around that we didn't hear about.
Yay yay yay yay yay!! :) Love hearing all the good news! Keep up the good work Archer!
ReplyDeleteGood for Archer. He knows the milk is good for him, so he can grow up big and strong. It just might take a little longer but he can do it! Hugs to all.
