Dr. Halprn called with update.

-Megan feeds still increasing, going to 9mls. Had to start giving her her feeds on a pump, it is pushed through feeding tube over and hour to prevent reflux. Labwork all came back good, no infection, good metabolism and stabile biliruben (jaundice). Head scan looked good, (not official until read by ultrasound tech).

-Olivia feeds going up to 3mls. Heart echo shows there is a remaining small PDA, it is not causing any problems so there will be no more treatments at this time. It is likely to close on it's own. Will only test further if a problem indicates issue with heart. Labwork showed no infection, biliruben stabil and sodium was low yesterday, normal today. Head ultrasound looked good, (not official).
