The news is
getting less and less intricate, which I think is a good thing!
The other
day, I forgot to mention, his mucous tested positive for bacteria and cocchi.
But just a little, and the nurse (practitioner) didn't seem at all concerned.
The nurse today didn't even mention it to us, and we didn't ask.
He went up
to FOUR ccs in his feeds, yay!, and is still digesting it.
He went down
in oxygen a bit on the ventilator. He was up while we were there, or
oscillating back and forth, really, so Tiffany worked on clearing him of
mucous. She also suggested to the respirator expert lady that maybe he had
outgrown his tube.
His blood
gases today were excellent. He was a little acidic yesterday but perfectly in
range today.
Thanks to our
friend Kate, who dropped off cupcakes that easily compete with the best in DC
(lookout, Georgetown!), we remembered to celebrate Calder’s two-week birthday.
Little milestones, as she told us, are worth celebrating. Go Calder!
You look absolutely glowing...motherhood looks amazing on you - sending love...love reading the blog!
