They are starting to feed Joseph today. The plan is to give him 1 teaspoon of food every 24 hours. The feeding tube is through his nose. The gas bubble in his stomach has resolved and his stomach sounds are good.
They are weaning him off his Hydrocortisone which is his last blood pressure medicine.
Monday he will have another head ultrasound.
On Tuesday he will have another echo done of his heart
White blood cells in spinal fluid are elevated so they will continue treating him with antibiotics. None of the doctors have sounded very conclusive on the results of the spinal tap. They did tell me that they do monitor the level of antibiotic in his blood stream and make sure it doesn't rise to a level that would impact his hearing.
The nurse on nights put a pacifier in his mouth. The day nurse said he REALLY likes it. He did not have it in when I got here.
