Three Bottles

Archer's bottle feedings were increased to three from two. The speech therapist has observed Mom feeding Archer and she was impressed with their progress. He is getting better at breathing while sucking and he did not require additional oxygen during feedings today. The therapist is not concerned about the amount that he drinks, but the way that he is drinking. Archer drank more than half of all three bottles today. Archer's tummy troubles seem to be decreasing ever since the calorie fortifier was decreased to 22 and off formula.
Archer's seizure medication was discontinued. The staff will keep a close eye on him to check for any signs of a seizure. He only had one seizure a few weeks after he was born and has been on medication since. He has not had any tests to see if there are any causes for seizure activity. He will most likely have an EEG fairly soon to look for any signs of seizures.
Archer received a Kate's Kart book: Kiss Me Goodnight.
