Good night with RT, did everything myself.
A could times where he was too frustrated and wanted real food not his binky just difficult to calm him. Obvious he was hungry before it was time.

0900 another bottle feeding with speech present.

Moved to 30 minute feeds instead of over am hour.  Still every 3 hours 70cc

We get clearance to do bottle feeding with every feed time up to 30CC!! Whatever he bottle feeds subtracted from pump feeding.

Obviously only if he is awake and Qing.

RTs g tube sight is more irritated than yesterday.
Dr thinks maybe infected, surgeon paged, they come and look, tell us its likely just irritation, don’t put anything on it. Just gauze to keep separation between the plug and his skin to help with any irritation.

Clearance from surgeon to put RT on his belly and rotate g tube!

One of RT’s primary nurses stops by!

One of RT’s favorite respiratory therapists stops by for a visit!

We love our visitors!

Just feeding, flushing his feed tubing, mixing milk and doing everything by ourselves!

He has not pooped in 48 hours. So he gets a suppository, wonder why no poop this time? A few minutes later poop.

We do dinner and he poops again.  Spending the night again. Maybe more sleep tonight since we can bottle feed! It calms him well!
