Better days

Today has been a much better day for little Danny, he seems to be finally coming out the other side of his recent infection. He’s been really happy today, smiling and coo-ing while were playin with him which is just so good to see after how he was last week. He has continued to tolerate his feeds which has been slowly increased through the day.  Although at one point during the day one of the consultants wanted to put Danny back on TPN but Julie said that she did not want him to go on it yet and they should give him til tomorrow to see if he was still tolerating his feed.  She went off to discuss this with Daniels normal consultant and she agreed that this would be ok and said that they were not to start the TPN unless it was still nessecary tomorrow.  At this point in time he is now at 20ml per hour, which is being increased 2ml every 4hrs, and his stomach is not showing any signs of becoming distented nor is he showing any signs of discomfort with it.  Lets keep our fingers crossed that Dan keeps moving forward.
