Lacy, the nurse, and Carter got along very well today...he behaved for her...well so far. Once again he was dressed like a little man with his hat, shirt and socks. She even decorated his little isolette and took pictures of him to display on it.
We were able to kanagroo him today and he loved it...while she was getting him ready for me he was fussy, fussy and the minute he layed on me he quieted immediatley.
Before his noon feeding that checked his residuals (to see if any milk came back through his feeding tube) and some did and looked like he had bile in it. So, they did an xray of his belly to make sure the feeding tube is in place and it was, so...they are going to cut his feeds for the rest of the day and test again the AM and if there are more residuals then they will move foward...possibly could be a intestinal infection. If not then they will resume his feedings but not give as much.
The nurse pracitioner said "He might just think he is a big boy and wants alot of milk but he can't hold it because his tummy is so little."
so, we will check on him tonight and post an update tomorrow.
