Well last night Greyson’s c02 number was a little better, down to 64. We are happy about that. I have been talking to Greyson everyday about how he needs to blow off all that gas. I think maybe he heard me although I don’t think he really understands exactly what I mean because during his care time he was definately blowing off some gas, but not the kind that helps with his c02 numbers!
We got to hold him on the nasal canula for two hours today, but didn’t get any good pictures so this is after he went back on the cpap. He got his nasal treatment (inhaler) and got his nose bulbed before I held him and they got some nasty stuff out of his mouth. Then after I’d been holding him awhile we could tell he was pretty plugged up so super mom (Stacy) got the bulb and started sucking. This went on for awhile and it seemed she was sucking to his toes but she finally worked out a HUGE slimy booger thingamajig. We should have taken a picture of that! I am very proud of her abilities and Greyson breathed better for a short time. After about 15 minutes the nurse bulbed him again and got some more goobers out of the same nostril. That kid is a factory!
All in all it was a good visit although Stacy and I have both felt this week the weariness of going there everyday. God continues to give us the grace and strength we need, and it is always good to see Greyson. We can only imagine how amazing it is going to be to have him home with us everyday.
