Quinlan is no longer on oxygen, and just has the EKG leads to monitor his heart, the pulse oximeter to check his heart rate and O2 saturation, and the NG-tube to eat. He has been tolerating all his feeds well and they consistently monitor all in and outgoing fluids. This means they chart his food intake as well as weighing his diapers. Dad has been very proud of each substantial poo that Quinlan has had as it indicates continued healthy development. While changing his diaper last night, dad realized Quinlan had not quite finished pooing as he soiled the second diaper before it was even fully placed under him. Dad was congratulating him when Quinlan proceeded to pee everywhere. We then had to wipe him down, get a new diaper on him and lift him out of the isolette to change the bedding.
Here he is happily enjoying the extra time with mom after his successful voiding!
At this point the team has said the plan is to eat, poo and grow. Quinlan has 2 of 3 down... now it is time to grow!
