hkellickHe's still in the hospital.
They're suspecting that something in K's breastmilk irritated him enough that he started bleeding. I'm not sure how this works.
They don't want to scope him unless they have to, so they're operating on the hunch that it was the breastmilk. Assuming he does well on the elemental formula he was on when he was doing well for.. potentially 24 hours, we might all go home tonight. If he starts spitting up blood, however, he'll need to be scoped and he's staying there a while.
We're alot happier with the care unit he's in. They seem alot friendlier (not all the nurses in the NICU were very friendly) and accommodating. I took K down for dinner last night and the nurse happily took Robert out into the nurse's area for a bit. Robert flirted with everyone (which apparently was just the kind of thing that the nurses could use after a long shift) and K got a break.
Ended up taking K home last night. She was exhausted and needed the sleep badly. Nurses promised us that they'd call if anything happened. So far no calls, so I'm guessing it's been a quiet night for Squirm.
We'll get back to the hospital once traffic has cleared a bit.
