I'm sitting with Evan, watching him in his bubble. He's so close, yet I'm afraid to touch him. He tends to desat (that's how preemies show they're mad) whenever he's touched.
Evan is looking good - both clinically and in the flesh. He's put in some weight too! He's back to tipping the scale at just over 2 pounds. Some of his weight gain may be due to water weight, but not much.
The doctors have started Evan back on feeds. They'll start over with 1 mL every 3 hours. As soon as they feel he's tolerating it, they'll increase the amounts.
Right now, all of the lab work shows that Evan does not have an infection. Once the final culture is done growing, the doctors will most likely discontinue the antibiotics.
