Miles is having a good day today.  We have had lots of good holding therapy!  We can't actually hold him yet but we can gently lay hands on him which provides great comfort to him.  Also, some gentle singing and chatting about our Dad is of great comfort.

Medical:  his x-ray of abdomen looked normal.  Blood gases were a little off and blood count dropped last night so they gave him another little blood transfusion to up the blood.  They do this because they stick and poke on him so much and he doesn't have much blood to give so they have to give him a little pick me up sometimes.  They upped his oxygen up to 50 but that was most likely needed because of his busy day yesterday with the Fluoroscopy, feeding tube insertion, and arterial line input.

They are going to hold off on feeding for a few days more since he did not take very well to the first go.  But he will get there.
