This is the day that most kids are moved from the PICU, the pain medicine is weaned to Tylenol only, and they try to start bottle feeds.
Unfortunately, due to Alex's breathing, they are taking things slow and we are staying in the PICU another night. They will not be trying bottle feeds until tomorrow. The amount of formula Alex is getting by tube feeds continues to increase (he started at 5 ml/hour, to 10 ml/hour and is now at 20 ml/hour) and he was more alert today. He played with some toys and cuddled with me in the recliner most of the day. They were able to take out the nasal trumpet which made Alex feel much better!
