Well today has been just a great day. Greyson was very alert during all of his care times and his gasses have been coming back excellent. His latest gas (8pm) had a c02 of 37!! With numbers this low the Dr. will definately make another ventilator change. To let you know where he is at, Thursday night he was at a rate of 60 with a PIP of 32. His co2 was 97. Tonight his rate is at 54 with a PIP of 22 and his co2 is 37! This is fantastic. His oxygen requirements have also come down and he is needing about 25 percent oxygen (remember room air is 21 percent). It has been A LONG time since he has been this low on what he needs.
Today his nurse told us how alert he was after his care, looking all around. She suggested we might consider getting him a aquarium toy that hooks to the crib for him to look at when he’s awake. His aunt Tammy jumped all over that and we rushed of to Baby’s R Us and got one. He looked at it a bit when we brought it in but I think he’s waiting till later to really check it out. Today has been such a big day for him he’s a little tired out.
OK so that’s all I have to talk about other than we are just so thankful for all God is doing right now. Yes he got the DEX and that is certainly having an effect, but we know that ultimately it is God who is at work in Greyson’s life. We are feeling so good we have decided to venture out to the movies tonight to celebrate. Gee…..it’s been a long time since we went to the movies!
We so happy are prayers are being answered one at a time. Grayson looks so good, we can hardly believe it. IVs in the head are quite comman in premies; Our David and our Raynee both had them as they were premie also. We will also pray for Sebatian also as he too needs all the prayers he can get. Thanks for his update too.
God Bless all three of you in this time of trail. Margaret & Dennis
