I think Anders looks a bit like Sting this morning with his wispy blond spike. Now, if he makes a lute album, we will have a problem.
Anders now weighs 2 lbs 14 oz. He has fewer wires and tubes in him now, which allowed him to wear clothes for the first time today. He's in preemie pajamas. His skin temp is more regular now. He has fewer IVs. He no longer has the aqua green board on his right leg to keep the tubes in place. Anders was shaking and kicking his newly freed right leg last night. Anders was pretty active last night. He was even awake this morning when Brad and Martha visited. His hair is having a blond day (some days are brown hair days). I know that sounds weird, but his hair color changes from day to day.
He grew a lot in the four days I was away. I was sad to miss a fifth of his life, on the other had I was better able to see the progress he continues to make.
Anders' lungs are still lagging behind. He gets 40 breaths per minute on the respirator. They might take that number down to 38 per minute today. He needs to be at 15 per minute to get extibated. He probably won't be extibated for a few days at the earliest.
He's being fed 4 mils per hour. The medical team is considering 12 mils every three hours because it's more physicalogically correct. It's the same about of food, but on a different pattern.
All things considered, another great day.
