Boy has made progress through the night. It's not ground breaking again, but at this point, forward is forward! Mom and I are thrilled. Dr Pillay has taken his colostrum intake to 10 ml. She likes what she's seeing on the X-rays. He's got jaundice now too :-( So they've put some really smart sunglasses on his eyes whilst he tans under the blue lights. Granny wants to know if they are designer shades, Aidie replies saying "yeah they're the Netcare brand and probably cost more than Armani". Got to try and find a bit of humour in all this.
Infection count is down from 19.3 to 7.8. We need this to get to below 1. They are worried about flem that he's coughing and have sent it in for infection testing. This remains a huge risk. Hospital acquired infections.....
Through the day we reduce oxygen and nitrogen. He's still ok.
