We went a step backwards today
Today they found out the reason why his heart rate was up yesterday. It was because the bed that he had thought he was cold so it was heating him up. So they changed beds and now his heart rate is normal now.
But this morning he was having a hard time with his feedings. He was dumping it out. So they decreased the calories in the milk from 24 cal to 20 cal. And he was still dumping. So they gave him pedalite. And started an IV cause he was dehydrated. The Doc thinks its because he couldn't handle that many calories. So hopefully tomorrow or the next day he will be off the IV. And tonight when I got back to the room the nurse called and said that they giving him half milk and half pedalite. If he does good with that they will give him full strength milk in the morning.
Hopefully he does good. I know he will.
Tonight I got to hold him again. He was wide awake. He is so cute.
Thank you everyone for all the prayers and support.
Thank you God for everything.
Love

Happyn to hear they figured out why his heart rate was up. Well he doesn't like when it is hot-go figure. I bet too much stress put a crimp in his eating habits too. He is like-wait a minute let me be!! Happy Easter and love to all of you Aunt Lori and all!!!
He sure looks cute and he certainly is a cool dude. So glad the temperature business was a faulty bed. I hope he can keep all his calories! Love you all. Dodie and family
Catching up on the latest info. So glad they figured out what was happening. Koa sure is trying to let them know when something is not right. Happy you got to hold him again. I'm sure he feels a whole lot better every time you are near and touching him with your love. He's just amazing the way he can communicate how he's feeling. God bless you all and keep up your positive attitude, I know that's easier said than done sometimes but everyone is praying really hard and I know God is listening. Love, hugs and kisses
