Day 50 - New Tube Gear

Day 50 – Wednesday, September 6, 2017

AGE: 7 weeks, 1 days old (32 weeks gestation)

Lochlan: Weight is 3 lb 7 oz. (Birth weight: 1 lb 10.8 oz.)
                Length 15.4 in. (Birth Length 13 in.)
Lex:        Weight is 3 lb oz. (Birth weight: 1 lb 10.8 oz.)
                Length is 14.8 in. (Birth length: 13 in.)

Lochlan’s head circumference continues to be monitored. His gases were high so they increased his O2 to 35%. The respiratory therapist was able to put a new tube in place because they are big enough. They look much more comfortable with the new tube.

Lex’s hematocrits were low (35.7) so he had a blood transfusion. His O2s are between 35 and 40%. He was moved to a RAM canula and is much more comfortable.
