We went to see Will this afternoon and learned some more information about him. They are beginning him on Prolacta with the breast milk. Prolacta is a human milk fortifier and is going to help increase the calorie intake and promote more weight gain and growth. Dr. Omara might take Will off the ventilator next week to see how Will reacts to being able to breathe on his own. But this is all depending on how he is still breathing on his own the rest of this week.
Please pray that the prolacta will work and Will will continue to gain some weight and that Dr Omara can take him off the ventilator and that Will will be able to breathe on his own.
