Only one change during rounds today, Kinley's bottle feedings will be increase from 20 ccs to 25 ccs. The remaining 65 ccs (90 ccs is a full feeding) will be given through her NG tube over the course of 1 and 1/2 hours.
Kinley continued to vomit today, but we feel that she is getting better. As of 1:00 pm she has thrown up 4 times, 2 of them were around 15 ccs and the other 2 were more like "wet burps" and were around 2 ccs. The "wet burps," which both occurred during her bottle feeding, are why we feel that she is doing so much better. I don't really count those as vomiting.
Kinley's 2:00, 5:00 and 8:00 pm feedings (both bottle and NG) go smoothly with no vomiting or wet burps. Way to go Baby Blue Eyes!!! Kinley has slept a lot today (without the help of Tylenol) and that makes Kathy and I very happy for many reasons. First of all, it means that she is comfortable and not in any pain. Secondly, the combination of sleeping and keeping her food down will give her a much better chance of gaining weight.
