Hello Baby, You had another great day. Your transition to you new vent is going well. Your lungs are constantly improving. The doctors even say the next time you pull your out your vent tube they are going to test to see how you handle breathing completely on your own. You got your protein and have handled it well. Still no weight gain, but that’s alright for now. A side effect of your steroids can be slowed weight gain. You still digest your food well. The nurses have requested your doctors approve daily holding by your parents. This makes us all happy, and we hope they approve it. You do have Mommy scheduled to hold you tomorrow and she is excited.
Overnight your blood gas stats did not look great. This is concerning as the doctors have even discussed having to put you back on the old ventilator. Things can change so quickly around here. You have more tests scheduled before rounds tomorrow morning. We can only hope for better news. I hope you enjoy your holding time with mom tomorrow. We love you and you make us proud.
