9:00am - We woke up at 5:30am to get Brady's overnight numbers. They were AWESOME! In addition, his 8am reading was 93 - his highest ever! Remember, he only needs 50+! THe nurse is thrilled with the numbers, and actually threw out the "D" word. If the central line can come out early this morning, she thinks that he may be able to go home late tonight, or early tomorrow!
The Endocrinologist came by around 8:30am and looked at Brady's numbers. He was thrilled, and is taking the numbers back to the team to prepare for next steps. He instructed the nurses to no longer add calories to Brady's milk. He will remain on a 20 calorie feeding schedule (which is straight up milk, or any formula you buy in the store).
So now, we believe our options are:
1) Remove central line and monitor 20 calories for 24 hours
2) Remove central line and monitor for a few feedings
3) Remove central line and discharge =0)
Hopefully, Brady will not have to go thru the car seat test. This is an hour and a half of Brady sitting in his car seat before going home. They keep him hooked up to the monitors, and make sure his vitals stay strong while in the seat. Usually, this test is done for premies, but since Brady was a little tiny, and has gone through a lot, they may opt to put him thru the test. Just another hour and a half we will have to wait!!! =0)
Stay tuned for more info later today!
