Perhaps too much detail...

Before entering more milk into the blue tube, the nurse 'sucks back' what has already been pumped into Mathias' stomach to ensure that things are being properly digetsted. If the previous delivery isn't digested, they need to hold off adding new milk. After the bump-up in the feeding schedule the 'suck back' came in empty. Milk was already digested and gone. We seem to have a member of the big eaters club! That came from my half of the gene pool!

Feeding has been bumped up another notch. Milk is now being pumped in continuously (at a low rate of course). But it is good news.

It's a good weekend in the ICU.
