Archer had another great day by weaning off oxygen flow and having good feedings. His liter flow was reduced from 0.2 lpm to 0.125 lpm, or 1/5 to 1/8. He is close to the lowest possible flow setting of 1/16. Some babies have a rough time without this small whiff of oxygen, even though it is extremely close to breathing room air. Archer may have a chance to try breathing room air without any assistance before he comes home.
Archer's feeding tube was taken out because he has not required any feeding through his tube in almost 24 hours. He has been taking full bottles. His tube will be placed back in if he doesn't finish two bottles in a row.
