Archer has now gained a few more ounces, bringing him up to 2 pounds, 5 ounces. A calories fortifier was added to his milk intake for the first time today, and this will continue to be added for quite awhile.
Archer's PICC line in his left arm went bad today. The staff removed the line and a temporary IV line has been added to his foot.. They will only need a line for another week to give him his antibiotics and fluids until he is up to a full feeding schedule. Other medications will be given by mouth.
Archer has continued to cuddle with Mom using kangaroo care. His oxygen levels have remained in the thirties. Recent attempts at lowering his ventilator settings have not been successful, but the staff will continue to try wean him to lower settings.
