Archer's bottle feeds haven't progressed much in the last 24 hours. He has taken all of some bottles and more than half of others. He still paces himself about half the time. Mom and Dad spoke with a surgical nurse today who observed Archer's hernia and talked about surgeries for his hernia, G-tubes, G-buttons, and a Nissen surgery in case he is having bad reflux. He will definitely need to have a hernia surgery. It's a matter of having it done soon, along with possible other surgeries, or having it done in a few months if other surgeries can be avoided. When he has surgery he will need to be transferred to a different hospital and will have to be re-intubated (put on a ventilator). Mom and Dad are weighing their options and are still hoping that Archer pulls through the tough time he is having with bottle feeding.
Archer received his first vaccination today, Pediarix. This is the first of three vaccines he will receive before going home.
Archer received a new Kate's Kart book: Night-Night, Little Pookie.
