The blood test James had a couple of days ago did not show any infection so they took him off the antibiotics.

They took him off oxygen at 8:00 am this morning, but decided to put him back on a minimal amount of oxygen at around 8:00 pm to help him through the night.

They started him on Reglan to help his gastrointestinal (GI) track move more quickly and freely.

James is going to try breastmilk again. He was at 15 ml before they switched back to IV fluids on Saturday. They are going to try starting him at 10 ml to see how he handles it. Hopefully he will be able to keep it down.

James had a couple of visitors today. Stacy’s parents stopped by, went to lunch with Stacy, and spent a little bit of time with James.
