Pleasing Progress

Eli has had some encouraging progress this week. He was successfully extubated Sunday. He still remains on an oxygen cannula. But even the cannula flow has been weaned down in recent days.
Eli has also been placed on bolus feeds through his G-tube. Instead of being continuously fed a small amount, Eli is now getting a single large amount every 3 hours. Before his sugery, this led to acid reflux and severe drops in his oxygen saturation levels. The staff is monitoring him closely as they are feeding him. So far, he is tolerating his feeds well! This is great progress!
He is supposed to go into the Cath Lab sometime this week. This will give us the answers to what we will do during the next phase of Eli's surgery/healing.
