Levi is now on a feeding schedule and doing quite well if you ask us ;) They started him on his schedule yesterday afternoon. He is giving 30 minutes to eat up to 63ml. Whatever he doesn't eat, gets put into his belly via feeding tube. Since his little belly isn't used to having food in it, the doctors said it will take a little while to "stretch" it out. His very first feeding he took about 13-14 ml on his own. This morning he took about 21ml. Hopefully he continues his improvement over the course of the day.
The doctors came in this morning and informed us that they are taking him off one of the two diuretics. The other one will take 5 more days to wean him off. They also dropped one of the three anti-seizure meds today. Oh, and one more ...... they dropped the steroid this morning also!!! They said the hormone levels where high and that indicates that his adrenal gland must be working fine.
Everything has been so positive for him over the course of the past week. The doctors actually told us that we should get a discharge date of EARLY next week (5-6days)
I am so happy to hear the good news about him. He looks so good Love to you all.
