At around noon today, Charlie was transfered from the PICU to the infant floor. He has been recieving TPN (total parenteral nutrition) through his PICC line. A PICC line is like a heavy duty IV line. TPN can give Charlie the nutrition he needs until his digestive system is ready to handle formula.
His bilirubin count is down significantly today but we were told to not get too excited because what counts is long term lab results, not the day to day ones.
