Snug as a Bug

Archer made it back down to 1.0 lpm cannula flow. He spent most of the day on 28% oxygen. The staff hopes he will stay on this level of flow and get his oxygen down to room air consistently while he is trying to learn bottle feeding. Archer's bradycardia issues have not been present in the last few days.
The test on Archer's eye goo came back and it is an infection. This is a common infection that most babies have and many doctors won't bother treating it. He will receive eye drops four times a day for the next five days to help remedy the infection.
The speech therapist paid Archer another visit and fed him a bottle to see how he was doing with feeds. She was happy with his progress and recommended to increase his bottle feedings to every other feed (four times a day), and only if he is cueing for a bottle.
Archer received a Kate's Kart book: Snug as a Bug.
