After the “episode” on Monday Justin was started on steroids the following day to help mature his lungs. A significant improvement was noticed in his chest x-ray taken on Wednesday and the number of desats has decreased drastically.
This week’s tracheal culture is now positive for the staph infection which Justin developed last week. Fortunately, as a result of suspicious lab results this past weekend, he was already started on antibiotics to help fight off any potential infections.
Justin’s current weight is 540 grams (1 lb 3 oz) and his length is 10.6 inches.
Highlights of the week
Breast milk feedings were resumed since there is now a noticeable amount of gas in the stomach.
