Another Saturday in the K8N Ward. Adrian is pretty content today. He continued to have good appetite and has almost resumed 80% of his normal consumption. Dr. Ha mentioned his morphine dosage can be reduced again from 1.5ml to 1.0ml tomorrow and also the possibility of cutting the TPN. We, however, are hesitant to do so.... Aunt Catherine made another "sweet water" for Adrian to try and he seems to like it better. He drank a total of 4 oz today but he refused to drink from bottle though....

BB slept through the night last night and woke up around 10am. Good appetite today which equals to 80% of his normal consumption. In-laws came to babysit Adrian at the hospital for a few hours and fed him congee around 6pm. And, he ate again at 9pm... amazing!! Looks like the 1.5ml morphine did the trick. The nurse withdrew BB's nose serum for test today as well.

Adrian was so fussy last night the next door neighbor complained and he got transferred to the treatment room to sleep. Everyone in the ward knows about him and feels pity for him. Fussy baby usually means he's unwell. Poor Adrian, his mouth is so sore that made him hard to fall asleep. So, we've asked the doctor to increase Morphine back to 1.5ml and he seems to feel better?!

Adrian was fussy last night and during the day. Very poor appetite today. Was it due to the decreased Morphine dosage?

Seeing slight improvement today that Adrian was less fussy when having congee. Introduced milk again but he refused to eat. Morphine dosage reduced to 1ml today.

Seeing new H.O. today. Adrian had 3 meals today and ate a total of 300 ml congee. Have asked the doctor to decrease dosage on Morphine from 2ml to 1.5ml. Gum bleeding starting this afternoon, brought it to doc attention at night and drew blood for test. Found out platelet only at 6... received 1 unit of platelet.

Big improvement that Adrian ate a total of 300 ml congee today!! Will talk to doctor tomorrow about reducing dosage on Morphine. Went shopping in CWB today and in-laws looking after baby at hospital.
