Happy Valentine's Day From NCH

Toby had a good day yesterday and a good night last night. He slept a lot, which was good. He is off of the ventilator completely and is back on the mist collar with just a little bit of oxygen through the collar. The mist collar humidifies the air that he breathes, and is something he will have at home. They also started him back on milk. Yesterday they were giving him IV fluids and 1 ml of pedialyte over 6 hours!! The nurse said she could spit more than that, which made us all laugh. So, he's been pretty hungry, but so far he is getting his food into his stomach, so that's good! He's now getting 15 ml over an hour. They wanted to give his stomach and digestive system time to wake up from the surgery on Tuesday, so they needed to give him food slowly. Tomorrow they're doing the sleep study. We're praying he sleeps so they can actually do the study!
