May 24th - Ups and Downs

Carter had a aspiration moment this afternoon but he seemed to recover with some nurse intervention. They put him back on continuous feeds for now. We spent another 3 or 4 hours today up with him (after working in the yard all morning) and we're going to go back to 1 hour on and 1 hour off hopefully after the weekend.

Apparently, the nurses got word to bump his feeds to 75ml in 90 minutes and them no feeds for 90 minutes which didn't work. He had been getting 56ml in 60 minutes then nothing for 60 minutes.

We're looking to see if there is some formula with high calories that may digest a little quicker as it seems formula takes longer to digest than milk.

We're going to church up at PCMC tomorrow so we can visit grave sites in the afternoon.

Thank you for all your love and support.

P.S. 19 children were discharged from the unit today. Just a handful of children remain in the 3rd floor and 4th floor areas of the unit.
