Tuckered after some tucker

Today little man started off the day with a fabulous breastfeed and showed off his skills to all the right people. He did such a fabulous job, he tuckered himself out for the rest of the day. The nurse says for him, if he can have one breastfeed like he did this morning, just once a day, that is fine, so not to get frustrated. Once he is off the Optiflow, he will have more energy and find it easier. We are hoping this is in the next couple of weeks, once he has had his vaccinations over the weekend.

He's had a very steady and stable day with his oxygen requirements remaining quite settled, and on the low side. He's just slept a lot in the quiet and dark today, it's been quite a restful, and peaceful day. Today the dietician came to review Jensen's calorie intake. The MCT oil he's been having is affecting his poos a little too much, so she has lowered that, and increased the calories with a substance called Polyjoule. This is just carbohydrate, or sugar. So his extra calories now consist of fat and sugar, rather than just the fat of the oil. It passes through his system quite quickly and easily, so won't be causing any obstructions like the fortifier.

Tomorrow we have our weekly visit from the physio, and a follow up eye check from the ophthalmologist.
