The Children's Floor is full for the night, Maddox has to stay in the PICU.
Maddox had another great day. The PT is working on his lungs (he still hates it) and his throat seems to be much better. The OT worked with him again today on taking a bottle; he did much better than yesterday. With the tube feeding, the doctors have increased his food amount, feeding Maddox continuously (extremely slow) for two hours and then turning it off for an hour. This is in preparation for transitioning Maddox to bottle feeding only.
We can tell Maddox is getting better. He is more alert when he is awake and crying less when he coughs.
Our nurse told us that Maddox will have to be tolerating his food like a 'normal' baby and begin gaining weight before the hospital would release him. That is in addition to his lungs healing.
Please pray for weight gain and a healthy body!
