Archer's feeding intake was increased from 132 ml to 144 ml per day. A calories fortifier was also increased from 22 to 24-Cal. Archer is no longer on fluids. This means that he is on full feedings! He has an I.V. line in so he can receive his antibiotics for any sickness he might have. The testing of the infection from the lab showed the infection did not grow to become anything severe.
Archer has been receiving a CPT treatment a few times a day. This is basically a vibrator that they use on his back, sides, or stomach to help remove fluid in his lungs. Sometimes he tolerates this and sometimes he does not. He will now receive this treatment every six hours.
The staff tried to wean Archer off a ventilator setting but it did not go very well today. They will keep trying. Archer is now not allowed to go more than three seconds without taking a breath. The ventilator was set on six seconds.
