Expanding Horizons

Jenn and Lewis (in the sling) got out of the NICU and took a walk around the third floor today. Lewis fell asleep, but at least he's seen some more of the world. The extended walk was the subject of lots of 'jailbreak' jokes from the nurses when I got there this evening. (Actually they encouraged Jenn to take him).

• Feeding up to 15 ml/h
• New PICC dressing with plastic - no more double diapering (thank goodness)
• Continuing to work to get off the IV - Lewis' reflux/digestion meds were changed from IV to oral today
• Tomorrow is the last day of antibiotics after the last surgery

When I arrived after work, one of the nurses was holding Lewis. He seems to be pretty popular around there - he gets held an awful lot, even when we aren't there. Lewis did need a morphine dose overnight last night, but so far he's gone through today without one, as long as he gets enough attention.
