Sweet baby boy
Well we were supposed to be out by this past week but his blood pressure is not playing nice. They put him on some meds, then doubled the meds then doubled them again today. They were not lasting long enough till his next dose, so we will see how this round of up'd meds goes. They put him back on his Theophylline today. He had a sleep study test done last night and he did good except for his oxygen staturation levels were in the low 90's while he slept and they need to be in the high 90's. His lungs are still not 100% so they put him back on the meds which is caffeine with a twist basically. It is more for respiration rather than plain caffeine. His Dr. did the sleep test just to see how he did so he would know whether to put him on just caffeine or Theo. He got his answer. He has been feeding ok but falling asleep easy or not wanting to wake up at all so that is another reason they put him back on the Theo. Hopefully he will have more energy with the Theo and will take more from his feeds. Rob came up this weekend and saw him. Blake greeted him with some burps and toots. He loved his bath tonight and got upset when I took him out of it. He also did super on eating and ate the most he has ever eaten. He ate 70 cc's. Yeah. I think the Theophylline is helping. As you can tell by the pictures it was all about Robert this weekend. lol just kidding. So we were supposed to originally get out this past week and then they said this coming week, but since they are having to still deal with his bp and raise his meds they are saying next week, but we will see. He didn't get his hearing test done like they said. Guess it got cancelled or something. It is ok cause it will get done before he leaves. If he cooperates and his bp gets under control we might be out by this weekend (I wish, but doubt it). Here's hoping. Oh he is 6 lbs 2 oz as of tonight. He lost an ounce but that is ok. He is going to be walking by the time we get out of here...ahhh stop growing! haha
