Picc line removed - October 25, 2013

Owen got rid of his picc line today!  This was where a lot of the meds and the TPN fluid was given intravenously.  He wasn't using it much anymore and the meds that they were using can be given orally.  This is one less spot for infection!

He is still tolerating the milk.

His lungs look a little hazy today, but his blood work looked good.  They went down on some of the ventilator settings today.  He seemed touchy today and was back to being a bit mad.  Eric tried to hold him today and it didn't go so well.  Owen ended up having to go back to the incubator and be bagged.  He recovered and we just let him rest the rest of the day and tonight.

They are checking to make sure he is hydrated enough.

Liver is still having a hard time processing things but hopefully being off the TPN and on the breast milk will help this.

Praying for:

• Kidneys to function better
• Liver to function better
• Adrenal glands to function better
• Bones to grow stronger
• Lungs to function better
• Infections to stay away
