Today we have no more i.v. tubes! This is a big step for Zac, and one Katy and I are super happy to see. Thought I'd include a picture of him without a hat on today so everyone can see the head of hair he has. :)
Also, the doctor today told us his MRI was completely negative on everything. We know we're still awaiting news on the blood work, and Katy and I can't recall if we've heard something specific on the EKG. I think the nurse told us it was just fine but Katy isn't sure, so we'll double-check and share that when we're certain. :)
They've upped his feedings to 13ml/hour, which I guess is about as much as he'd do on average normally. The next step is to change that up a little to where he's getting more food in a shorter period of time to get him used to taking in more at once. This will prepare him better for being able to handle regular feedings. Since they've had him on this continuous feed, he's not had to deal with that, so this is really just going back to where he was initially, though in larger volumes of food. This should make Zac more able to handle a regular meal. We'll start working on that probably within the next several days.
