Memphis passed the "clear fluids" test! The Dr. Had wanted him to start his feedings using pedialyte for 12 to 24 hours before starting breast milk to make sure his stomach could handle the liquids. Memphis took all of his feedings wonderfully without spitting up a thing. Because of this, today Memphis gets to have 5cc of breast milk every three hours.

The dialysis machine clotted off last night sometime and instead of putting him back on immediately today the Dr. has decided to give Memphis a chance to do things on his own. This of course will only last as long as his electrolyte numbers are good. So, here is his big chance to show us what he can do!

They have began to wean the sedation medicine a little. Eventually when they really start pushing him off the narcotics he will be put on methadone to help. We have been told that giving him methadone is the quickest way to get him off of everything that he has been on.

Mom got to sit and rock Memphis this morning. He slept the whole time just looking as sweet as he can be. Little moments like that even though brief and few are the best moments in the world.
