A not terrible day...
John continues to have multiple heart rate and O2 drops. They are happening more often, lasting longer, and dropping lower. He needs stimulation more often than not and has even required "byblow" (blowing 100% oxygen near his mouth/nose) to get him out of some spells. The explanation continues to be reflux. His caffeine dose was increased to 12mL in the hopes that he might just have outgrown his original dose. The doctor stated this might explain why John is taking longer to come out of the episodes.
On the bright side:
He continues to gain weight; John's now up to 2206g (4 lbs 13.8 oz). His bottle feedings are progressing. He had 35cc in the evening feeding (over half his feeding). And he continues to be alert, tracking and interacting although he's not doing it as much as when he was in the isolette. His temperature continues to be above 97.7 F.
