Today they let Michael drink 2 bottles, but then they decided that was too much too quickly, so no more bottles until at least tomorrow.
Good news is that he is tolerating the hyperallergenic formula well and is up to 100% strength and 19 ml per hour. the 19 ml per hour is the minimum that he needs to gain weight. He has lost a little weight. His belly measures just 33cm today, so that is a good sign. So all things are encouraging right now. He has slept much of the day today.
Dr. Durham says that in all his years working with NEC babies, he has never had one that has needed to go home on this hypo formula, so Michael is a rare case.
He sure is a sweet boy!
