Lincoln is looking good on an oxygen flow of 0.1 LPM today! Hopefully he remains comfortable as he gets used to this flow over the next few days. I'm amazed by his progress, with breathing and activity!
Lincoln is still not showing improvement with eating, but he is getting by. On a good note, the Pulmicort seems to be starting to work, and I have seen improvement in Lincoln's wheeze these past few days. Linc's Dietitian came for a home visit today. Here are his measurements on her scale:
weight 16lbs (Yay! I know every scale is different, but I've been waiting to see this number again since Dec)
length 26"
HC 46cm
She is always interested in length for weight ratio, which shows proportion. Similar to BMI for adults) His length for weight is between 25-50%, closer to 50%. So he is pretty proportioned regardless of his actual weight. She suggested restarting Linc's reflux med and working with OT to push using a cup since Lincoln seems uninterested in bottles. So, I will be trying some of these over the next few weeks to see if Lincoln will eat a little more.
