Day 4

Wt: 1.300kg
Jaundice on downward trend, blue photolight therapy changed to white light.

PDA: Short, soft murmur heard but no cause for alarm. Some light brown secretion collected (from stomach) caused by medication given for PDA.

Milk: Still not fed to avoid complicating the treatment for PDA (since the treatment may cause gastric intolerance)

Rachel was put on IV minerals and nutrients called the TPN (Total Parentral Nutrition)

I remember the day I saw Rachel in NICU, I couldnt stop my tears from flowing down. All the tubes and needles.. they just broke my heart..
