Sorry that we didn't get a blog up last night about how yesterday went. Last night got away from us!
Monday Morning Update Call
-Had to give Colby some platelets again
-But they were able to lower his oxygen to 78% sometime that morning
Monday Visit
-Momy got to change your diaper again! This is not normally one of those baby chores that parents get excited about but I am so thankful that these nurses ask me. It is such a "mommy/daddy" thing to do and it makes me feel like I haven't lost that role altogether. It is so hard not being able to hold him, rock him, and make him better. :( So---when I get to change a diaper---I get excited! :) PRAISE!! PRAISE!!
-Colby's nurse yesterday was Emily and after I was done she stepped in and turned him over on his tummy, his favorite spot! Then I got to hold Colby's head and his SATS started to go up and up and up! I was so excited to know that Mommy caused that! (I know---it was probably the tummy time but a Mommy can believe what she wants to!) PRAISE!!!
-Colby's oxygen was around 80% and the oxygen pressure was back down to 11.5 PRAISE!!
-Daddy found out that you have grown 3/4" since last Monday! WOW! PRAISE!!
Monday Evening Update Call
-Oxygen was as 90% but Colby's oxygen pressure was still at 11.5 PRAISE! PRAYER--Please keep praying that these two numbers continue to work their way down over the next few weeks.
-Had to put him back on a low dose of dopamine to get him to tee-tee again (he wasn't doing a very good job of this) PRAYER--That Colby will turn this around and try to tee-tee some of this water weight off.
-They moved his feeding amount to 3 cc every 3 hours!!!! PRAISE!!
-He had a poopy diaper at 6pm---just a tiny but something to get excited about!! PRAISE!!
-Colby's evening nurse, Stephanie, weighed him and he gained 3 ounces and is now at 2 pounds! This may sound exciting but that is a lot of weight gain in a short amount of time and with Colby not tee-teeing the way that he needs to...this could be some water weight which is not something they want. PRAYER--That Colby will begin going to the potty better again and will shed some of this weight.
We are hoping for another good day today! Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers, and comments. They have blessed our home and warmed our hearts!
God Bless,
Brie
