Well today wasn’t that great of a day.\u00a0 It started off good as I called in to get Greyson’s blood gas numbers.\u00a0 His c02 was down to 65 and he was still tolerating his new feeding schedule.\u00a0 We were excited to get there and celebrate how well he was doing.\u00a0 When we walked into the NICU and I first saw him I had the funny feeling something was up.\u00a0 Basically this came from the fact that he was requiring more oxygen than normal.\u00a0 This didn’t have to mean anything major, it could just be that he was holding his breath or fussy and was bumped up for just a bit.\u00a0 Well while I was waiting for our nurse to come over and talk about how his day had been going the Dr. stopped by.\u00a0 He asked if we were aware of Greyson’s “episode” that he had earlier in the day.\u00a0 Turns out Greyson had stopped breathing for a long enough period that he not only de-satted but his heart rate fell very low as well (called a Brady).\u00a0 Greyson is really old enough now that he shouldn’t be having these, and since he never really has had them it was a bit troubling.\u00a0 The Dr. couldn’t provide any real reason as to why it happened but said if it happened again he would like to start Greyson on the steroids again for a short time to help ensure he is breathing OK.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Well after all that we had a great care time with Greyson and got some fantastic pictures.\u00a0 Yes I am biased, but come on look at the pic for today.\u00a0 Awesome isn’t it?\u00a0 Anyway Stacy held Greyson for a couple hours and then we put him back in bed for his care.\u00a0 He was extremely fussy during the care time, so much so that we didn’t even get him dressed.\u00a0 We finally left his shirt half on and just bundled him up with blankets to calm him down.\u00a0 He was calming down and the nurse said she would dress him after a bit.\u00a0 It was just hard to have him have this “episode” and then have to leave knowing he had been so upset just prior to our leaving.\u00a0 I guess we haven’t had a bad day in awhile and if this is the worse we get from here on out it won’t be so bad.\u00a0 Still we are hoping tomorrow he is feeling better and forgets all about having any more of these episodes.<\/p>\n

For those who are curious, the tube going into his mouth is his feeding tube.\u00a0 He normally wears the cpap mask but we get to take it off while we weigh him.\u00a0 He broke 6 pounds today can you believe it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
