Ms. Payton - Payton has had a big week. On Sunday, she was extubated. YEAH! She had a si-pap on for a few days over her nose. She tolerated it really well. As of yesterday she's gotten rid of that and is now on to a little nasal cannula (the little things that stick up your nose). I was worried she would tear it off but she's done pretty well with it so far. She's up to full feeds, her milk has been fortified twice and has had the extra protein added to it. Now time for the little girl to grow.
Mr. Parker - While the little guy isn't having any problems growing, he's having a harder time getting off the vent. Last night he started a course of steroids to hopefully help. His cellulitis and staph are under control so last night was the last of antibiotics for him. He's on full feeds
and has his milk fortified twice and has had the extra protein added to it also. Now he just needs to work the steroids.
