Peyton is special because he decided to pull his feeding tube out yesterday! So, they now have his feeding tube through his nose instead of his mouth. Because of this they are going to go ahead and try to bottle feed him next week. They will start with one bottle a day and progress slowly.
Right now Peyton is up to 15 mL per feeding with the hypoallergenic formula.
They noticed that the PIC line was floating close to his heart, so they moved it a little.
With all the changes he has not had any A&B's (apnea--not breathing and bradycardia which is a slow heart beat) lately.
Today he is having a renal ultrasound to see if the urine is going back into the kidneys from the bladder. He is also having a bladder tap to see if his UTI (urinary tract infection) is gone.
