update for today

December here we come! :)  The update is pretty short today. Kellen has done so well with his weight gain and feedings, he gets his NG tube taken out of his nose...YIPEEE!!!! He is going to be a happy little boy. The doctors said he will definitely be going home next week! YEAH!!!

Carson is up to 11 mLs per hour on his feeds and his IV nutrition is down to 4 mL/hour. This is really good b/c we would like to get him off his IV nutrition and on just breastmilk. All in good time. From the standpoint of ventilation, the doctors are giving him a week vacation and he gets to coast. After a week, he better be ready to roll because everyone is going to want to get back on the weaning band wagon. :)  He appears to be doing well from the standpoint of infection and will just be finishing his antibiotics.

Next Tuesday will be the one month birthdays and Preston and Liz plan to take a Christmas photo. Can't wait to see it! ;)

We hope all of you are doing well and getting ready to celebrate a fun weekend!!!
