As most of you know Cayden was born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. He is doing very well. Currently he has a central line and a feeding tube. He has came a long way from when he first arrived here at Emanuel Hospital. When Cayden first arrived he was on a ventilator and had so many wires and things hooked to him. After only 4 days of life he had to undergo surgery to fix his hernia.
Since his surgery he has had a steady recovery. Going from a ventilator to help him breath to CPAP. Then he went from the CPAP to the canula. To today where he had no help with his breathing and had a very good day. Tuesday the 9th they started him on regular feedings every 3 hours. They started his feedings with 10 ml and gradually increased every other feeding by 5 ml. Cayden is currently eating 45 ml and is tolerating it well. His bowels are a little slow at this point and he is needing help to have bowel movements. If everything is going well with his feedings the doctors will remove his central line which is what has kept Cayden nurished the past 2 weeks. I am hoping on a chance for him to be able to try to breast feed tomorrow. Have to see what the doctors say about that at this point.
Well I will definately keep everyone posted on the progress of Cayden, but for now I'm going to go get some rest. Have a nice night and God Bless.
