Ok so here is the update for tonight. I’m tired and just finished my school paper so this has to be quick.
Greyson has had a pretty good day today. They had to turn the rate back up on his vent (not great but to be expected, this will go up and down the whole time it is on it). We really have to pray for his little lungs as the vent does damage to them. The doctor was talking to us tonight and said, “well it does some damage just by being there, his lungs really weren’t meant to have air in them at this point”.
Other than that things are going good. We learned tonight that they will introduce small amounts of food (1cc of breastmilk) to Greyson starting tomorrow and give it to him every four hours. This is a HUGE step that he needs to get past. Being able to take food in, process it, and send it out the way its supposed to go is one of the major hurdles Greyson has. This will also show if his stomach has healed, and eventually will show if it has healed appropriately or if he will need surgery. Pray this goes well and he can build up to full feedings without problems.
That’s about it for tonight. The pics are kinda grainy tonight because they had the lights down, but this one is still pretty good
