day 5: welcome julian "jules" drake silver

Jules had a good day.

- He got a name.
- Almost totally stable on all the interesting numbers. Breathing "room air", aka no added oxygen.
- PDA: Indicine seems to be working and the side effects are muted. They measured little change in urine output (good!) and an increase in blood pressure (could be good if duct closing). The will verify by echocardiogram tomorrow. 
- Cranial Ultrasound: No bleeds. Slight ventricular assymetry which is apparently ok.

I think Jules is ready to critique other babies's metrics.
