So when we came in today and looked at Greyson he looked like he had been in a boxing match.\u00a0 He had a bit of a bloody nose.\u00a0 When I asked him about it all he said was, “yeah but wait till you see the other guy!”.\u00a0 OK they don’t actually let them box in the NICU but Greyson did have a bit of a bloody nose.\u00a0 Not sure why or what happened but he probably squirmed to much while laying on his stomach and irritated his nose.\u00a0 This coupled with the fact that he has air blowing up his nose probably led to the bleeding.\u00a0 We are not sure but the RT checked him out and said he looked OK once all the boogers were cleaned out.<\/font><\/p>\n

Now last night I mentioned how Greyson seemed to be breathing hard after we put him back in his crib.\u00a0 Well turns out he was as was evidenced by his poor midnight blood gas.\u00a0 His c02 was 72, not good.\u00a0 So at noon today he had another gas to see how he was doing.\u00a0 It came back with a c02 of 73.\u00a0 So the Dr. ordered a gas every 6 hours and wrote that if his c02 rose above 75 he would need to be put back on the ventilator.\u00a0 Well I am VERY happy to report that at 6pm his c02 was down to 63, well below the troublesome 70 numbers.\u00a0 So he is still on the cpap but did not spend any time today on the nasal canula.\u00a0 We’ll see what his midnight numbers are.<\/font><\/p>\n

Greyson also received a supository since he hadn’t pooped in a day.\u00a0 He’ll get a few of these over the next day or so.\u00a0 I held him for about 3 hours and then decided we should put him back and check his diaper as he was making a lot of noise and squirming a lot.\u00a0 He had gone a litlte but not much so we began to change his diaper.\u00a0 Well while doing this he went alot in three seperate episodes.\u00a0 When the nurse was giving report to the oncoming nurse she said, “and when he was born he weighed 700 grams, and I think he just pooped 700 grams!”.\u00a0 I don’t know I thought it was funny.<\/font><\/p>\n

I’m sure you all realize this, but I was amazed when I realized that Greyson is almost 12 weeks old now, yet shouldn’t be born for almost 5 more weeks!\u00a0 How crazy is that?<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
