Hunter's respirator settings were turned down one more time today. He is breathing rapidly. This is not normal. They are keeping an eye on it. It could mean that he has fluid on his lungs again or getting adjusted to the new ventilator settings. They also mentioned the possibility of an infection; but they don't think that is the case.

They also increased his feeds to 6 cc's. He seems to be tolerating that well. They plan to increase his feeds everyday. They said not to be surprised if they have to slow it down here and there.
