Everything is a go for Jacob to go home tomorrow! His car seat test (where he had to sit in a car seat which we got from the shower for an hour and maintain his saturation levels and be brady cardia free) was a success last night! The plan is to leave with our son by noon for homeward bound and his own room!
Melinda took the opportunity to have one last hurrah to feed Jake before his departure tomorrow, see below!
I also caught a great shot of Sheri holding Jordan as she was getting her feeds tonight. Tonight was a good night for both momma and baby girl.
Jacob's official report for the day:
4 lbs. 9.6 oz.
0 brady episodes
0 desats
Ad-lib feedings of 22 calorie fortified milk, 8 bottles a day
2 dirty diapers
5 wet diapers
0 CC's residuals
Eye exam went well; will not need to visit eye doctor until 1 year old
Jordan will have to remain a few weeks longer while we get her reflux and stridor under control. As it is now, she takes her feeds via tube very well, and she is able to maintain her stats while getting them. However, she cannot swallow yet without aspirating, so these next few weeks will be chock full of physical therapy and assessment so she can take her feeds successfully by bottle.
Jordan's official numbers for the day are:
4 lbs. 15.4 oz
1 dirty diaper
5 wet diapers
0 brady episodes
0 desats
21% Room Air nasal cannula 1 Liter flow
42 CC's fortified milk 22 cal.
Prevacid (for acid reflux) 2 mg. 1 x day
ENT Doctor and Developmental Assessment Doctor visits tomorrow to assess acid reflux, vocal cords swelling, and possible floppy air valve
Eye exam went well; will not need to visit eye doctor until 1 year old
More as it develops! Thank you for all of your love, prayers and thoughts! More progress reports soon!
Kind regards,
The Cordova Family (Andy, Sheri, Jacob & Jordan)
