Nicholas is doing well today. He is now back up to 2 bottles a day. His nurse gave him his first bottle around 2 pm today and I will give him his second tonight at 8. He took about 15ml from his nurse. That is pretty good considering it was less than 24 hours since his previous bottle. His mommy gave him that one and he took 25ml from her.
I helped Nicholas' nurse give him a catheter this afternoon. They have to use that to get a urine sample to make sure the antibiotics are fighting off the infection. So far 1 of the bacteria that was found is gone but there is still 1 left. Nicholas will be on his antibiotics for 10 days instead of 7 just to be safe.
Nicholas will probably be moving over to the intermediate side in the next week or so. He could be moved over there now but since he's had the infection and he is still having spells from time to time they wanted to wait and make sure he is ready because they don't want to have to put him back on the intensive care side once he goes to the intermediate side (which we've seen that happen before to other babies).
