Oliver was pretty mad when the nurse drew blood from his portal. Claudia picked him up and now he’s sleeping peacefully on her lap.
Dr.O is here to check in on Oli and he says that the oxygen study turned out normal. Yay, I hope Dr.C will take him off of oxygen.

The docs are saying no feeds thru the NG for 3 days. He’ll have IV fluids until he’s ready to start using the G tube (it needs to heal first). They might have to stay up to 5 days.

Oliver did well and the doc said it was a very straightforward procedure. He’s resting comfortably, just looking around. We’ll get to see him in about 10 minutes. He was extubated already! He has a tube in his nose for drainage and that will remain a couple of days, also two stiches.

Oliver went in to surgery at 4:05 and they said it’ll be an hour or an hour and a half. Claudia was able to go into the OR with him. They made her gown up but she wanted to be there until he fell asleep. Oliver fought the mask and at one point stopped fighting to give mommy a smile. Good thing because Claudia was getting ready to take the mask off, she wasn’t sure he recognized her.
A little bit of good news: Oliver weighs 13 lbs 15 oz today. That’s 4 oz more than 5 days ago, and it means the new feeding plan is working.

Oli’s surgery has been pushed back until 3pm. He had some blood drawn a little while ago and he was kind of put off but he’s asleep now. Keep the good thoughts coming…
