33 weeks

Zane is making small gains with his, but tonight he will be NPO (nothing by mouth) as he needs blood again and this will set him back 1 full day. I have asked that they put in a picc and allow him to have TPN along with his feeds so we can boost his nutritional status, this is usually not done in our unit but with his little weight gain perhaps they will entertain the idea. (NOT)

On Sunday we had a communication glitch again the NNP who was on duty was going to switch Zane's food to 50/50 mixture, although our plan was to do this on Tuesday so that he had 3 days to get use to the beneprotein being added to his feeds.  What annoyed me the most was that no one called to tell me what they were doing, once again THANK GOD for the primary nurse who keeps us informed.  I was able to talk with the NNP and they withdrew that plan and held steady with the original plan we had agreed upon.
