Latest Keegan update: he was up to his birth weight and off the vent. Now he dropped a little weight, his blood gasses were low and his ab muscles are still weak so, back on the vent.
They've got him in a papoose like affair. It keeps him from moving around to much, and burning calories he needs to grow. It also comforts him, being more womb like.
From his Dad : so we mentioned Keegan didn't have such a great night last night. He's back on the vent and lost some weight, but at least this dip isn't as big as the last one. he isn't sick his muscles are just not quite strong enough yet to breathe on his own long term and the "weight loss" was a whole 0.3 oz he is still doing well on his feedings and they may be moving him to just milk by Tuesday. The Doc said he wants to talk to us about some medication tonight that should help him along too.
