On my own-No Assistance Needed

Passed out


I still have to keep my tape for a little while!

Around 12:15 today Chase was taken off the cannula. When I got there for his 2pm feeding he had been doing well, but coordinating eating without any support was going to be a little work on his part. His sats were all over the place when I gave him his bottle with his medication, and he was pretty sleepy. I had to monitor his coloring and give keep him moving around to make sure he was stimulated. I can't nurse him until he takes his medicine first. He had sodium, iron, and potassium mixed with a little of my milk in the bottle. After he finally finished his medicine, during which time he did have one brady, it was time for his regular feeding. After a slow start he ended up doing really well, with no bradys and overall only a few desats. Keep going Peanut!
