Movin' On Up

Today Ellie's meal was upped to 6 mL every 6 hours (up from 4 mL every 6 hrs). Her first 6 mL feeding was at 11:00 AM today, so at 5:00 PM we'll see how she handles that. They also checked her proteins and electrolytes this morning. They all came back normal. I think this just means they won't change her IV much. Every day they change her bag of IV fluids. The mix of nutrients was designed just for her based on her birth data. They regularly check her protein and electrolyte levels to see if they need to tweak the mix.
