Archer seems to be taking in the latest rounds of milk just fine. He is having good bowel sounds and movements. He is still on the 1 ml, every six hours, schedule.
Archer's latest weigh-in number is 1 pound, 13 ounces. Some of this weight could be attributed to all of the lines and padding he has on his arms.
Archer was able to wean a little more off his oxygen and seems to be heading in the right direction. He is currently floating around 45%, the lowest it has been since he's been back on the ventilator. We hope this trend continues. The next best thing would be to wean down on the ventilator's pressure settings. The goal is to get his lungs to be able to expand on their own, and the ventilator is helping him practice this task, along with the inhaled steroids.
