Growing under lights, SCBU candidate already.
\n<\/p>\n

Brady’s are still coming up sometimes but Robin is recovering himself most of the time.<\/p>\n

His milk feeds have increased, to the point that he no longer needs intravenous lipids (fat). The only thing going into his arm now is the standard preterm dextrose & electrolytes booster. Dad gave him a feed through gavage after his change.<\/p>\n

The main area of attention now is oxygenation – after bumping along the low end of ideal for a couple of days his gas mix has been upped to 22% Oxygen. Perversely this is resulting in peaks above the ideal 94% oxygenation.<\/p>\n

Robin is also spending a bit more time under lights ro improve his bilirubens level (jaundice).<\/p>\n

Even given this, he’s now a candidate to graduate to SCBU (special care baby unit) – which is amazing progress in only a few days, and a reflection of how well he’s been doing despite such an early start. The main thing keeping him in NICU is that there are no places available in SCBU with Optiflow.<\/p>\n

Stats<\/p>\n

Weight: 1230grams<\/p>\n

Feeds: 10mL\/2 hours<\/p>\n

Optiflow: 3L\/min – 22% mix<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
