Need Prayers Please!!!!

AM Check-In
When Jason called to check in this morning our pumpkin and he was doing good.  He had gained 70 grams so he weighed 2 pounds 8 ounces.  His oxygen was at 60%---down just a little bit.  His rate was at 50.  He was doing well with his 13 CCs of formula and he had started his antibiotics.

Mommy Late Morning Visit
Mommy and Grandma went to visit Colby around lunch time and he was doing well.  He was sleeping when we got there.  He had started getting some breathing treatments to help his lungs as well---albuteral and flowvent. 

Daddy After Work Visit
Daddy went to visit after work and found out Colby had an interesting afternoon after mommy left.  It seems that he felt he wasn't getting enough attention lately so when the doctor was making his rounds---Colby decided it would be fun for all if he spiked his heart rate to 238 beats per minute (keep in mind he is usually around the 150s-160s)!!!  To make it even more interesting---he kept this up for about an hour!  The doctors and nurses were all fussing over him trying to figure out what was going on.

They did x-rays, an EEG, took blood for some cultures, along with a couple other tests to see if they could figure out a reason for this.  They were also about to start an EKG when he decided to return to more normal numbers.  He missed his 3 o'clock feeding due to this "spell" but they are prepared to do more tests if it should happen again.  They have also stopped the breathing treatment for now.

Due to this---his ventilator got some adjustments to help him.  They are still confused as to what could be the cause.  PRAYER---Please pray that this was a one time thing and that if there is something that needs to be "fixed" that God gives these doctors and nurses the wisdom to find the trigger to this rapid heart rate.

PM Check-In
Daddy just called to check in and they were feeding Colby again.  His rate was at 48 and she was adjusting his oxygen percentage down to 60%!  Moving in the right direction again with that!  He was tee-teeing well so that is good!  Back to feeding again---still at 13 CCs.  Ms. Debbie says he was having a good night and she wasn't anticipating any other issue but that they were ready with the tests in case he decided to misbehave again! :)

Our little man is so special to us and we are awed by his group of prayer warriors and so thankful to all of you for your continued support and love!
