2.22.11 Brandon update: feedings try 2

2.22.11 Feedings try 2
So today they started feeding Brandon for the second time. They are going to start small and slow to see how he does (6 cc’s every 6 hours). They placed his ng tube today and took an x-ray to make sure it was in the right place. Before each feeding the nurse will suction his stomach to see how much milk is still in there, if it is less than half (and he hasn’t spit up a bunch) then they will give him his next feeding. If there is more than half left (or he has spit up a lot), then most likely they will skip that feeding. Let’s hope he does well!
