Medication details

I haven't updated the info on Jett's meds for a while so while my snuggy boy is asleep on my chest that's what I'll do.

Daily selenium - this is a trace element he is deficient in. It was added to his TPN but he's been having it orally for the last few days.

Weekly Vitamin k - Jett was having fortnightly injections but is now having it orally and will continue to have it until his liver function is better. (He has conjugated bilirubinaemia caused from long term TPN)

daily pentavit - a multi vitamin he is on this specifically because he is deficient in vit A & D

Nilstat - both cream and oral drops to prevent thrush which can be caused from TPN

He had a stat dose of vit A yesterday and still has soluvit added to his TPN.

Jett had full bloods done yesterday which include liver function. He will continue to have these tests fortnightly until further notice :) Jett's head circumference yesterday was 38.8cm

Today Jett had his immunisations. He had 3 needles normally its only 2 but I didn't want him to have the hep B, so hey had to separate the vax. :( he cried but then when he had the oral rotateq he forgot all about it! It's really sweet so he loved it. I was cuddling him the whole time so of course he had a breast feed after :) he's back on full monitoring now for 24 hours to make sure he doesn't apnoea or brady. He should be fine though, at the moment he's sleeping soundly. :)
