Feedings

Eric is getting his full amount of nutrition as of last night. He is tolerating all 13 cc's every 2 hours. In the photo below you can see his feeding tube. It is the tube hanging down from the top of the bed. They fill that with milk and let it drip into his tummy. He eats/digests it right up.



The infection in his eyes has cleared up and his weight is good. Eric is also showing signs of being ready to breath without the ventilator. He pulls on that tube like it is bugging him and his blood gases (a mearsurement of oxygen & carbon dioxide exchange in his lungs) looks good. He is filling out his wrinkly skin a bit more and is fiesty with his added strength.
