Post Glenn - Night of Day 6
Tucker got his NG tube earlier today, so at least now we know he's is getting some calories to help with the healing. He has been getting 100 cc's by the NG tube every 4 hours. He still is not liking the Nutramagin by mouth, but we need to get him feeding at least partially by mouth so he does not forget how to eat. His echocardiogram is scheduled for 8:00 am, so he cannot get formula after 2:00 am and only clear liquids until 5:00 am. Tomorrow we will be meeting with the nutrition team to see if they may have a few tricks to maybe sweeten the formula to get him to take it by mouth and then slowly transition him back to strait formula. We also need to discuss whether he needs to stay on the 30 calorie formula and when we should start to introduce him to solid foods which is usually about 4-6 months. I will update tomorrow after we get the results from the echocardiogram. Hopefully we will have great night and thank you for keeping us in your prayers.
