Dr. Kermit

This little man is still in the hospital. We are hoping to go home in a few days. He is up to 21 mls on his feeds (goal of 28). They will begin increasing the calorie count tomorrow (currently at 20kcal, goal 24kcal). He seems to have responded well to the week long treatment and is doing well on increasing feeds. No bloody stools. He has had a high heart rate, but he doesn't have a fever, it isn't abnormal, and doesn't appear to be because of pain so they aren't worried about it. They tried and ng and he started to get a bit retchy as feeds increased so they decided to go back to nj. They thought maybe he had a high heart rate because the feeds were irritating his tummy since we didn't have the heart rate issue when off feeds. It doesn't appear to have brought the heart rate down, but we will see. We will all be glad to be home together again soon. I sure miss seeing my Cooper everyday!
