Hunter's respirator settings were turned down last night at 3 AM. This is his big challenge for the day. They have had to increase his oxygen intake after they turned down his settings. We are crossing our fingers that his body allows for the adjusted settings.
They also turned off his temperature control in the incubator. Only time will tell if his body is able to maintain his temperature without assistance.
He is still tolerating his feeds at 3 cc's a day. This is a very small amount and still needs the assistance of the TPN (IV nutution).
