Os 0.4

Lincoln's oxygen is at 0.4 liters this morning! He's doing great with breathing so I went ahead and weaned this morning, although Linc has not been drinking his bottles well. I think it is totally due to his medicine changes last week (stopping Prevacid and starting Pulmicort). Linc has been very active and not been acting too tired to drink. He just seems not very interested/hungry. His doctor is aware of the drop in his volume intake and I am going to speak to Lincoln's nutritionist about his minimum caloric needs. We are giving him a few days to adjust before making any changes. If he drinks even less with this oxygen wean, I can always turn him back up. Hopefully he gets hungry soon.
