<\/a>\"november-7-018-2.jpg\"<\/a>ell today is a new day and a better day at that.\u00a0 Greyson received another blood transfusion last night as well as got started on a couple asthma type inhaler medicines.\u00a0 This with the chest therapy (mini massager used over his lung) all seems to be helping.\u00a0 His oxygen requirements were lower today and they say they can hear better breath sounds from his right lung (the one that had the partial collapse).\u00a0 There is a lot of junk in both his lungs (read secretions) but with the therapies and a lot of suctioning it seems to be getting better.\u00a0 He had a couple episodes of dsatting coupled with brady’s (oxygenation going way low followed by a significant drop in heart rate) but nothing like yesterday and all was made better simply by giving him more oxygen for awhile.\u00a0 <\/font><\/p>\n

Today while Stacy was cleaning his face she touched the q-tip to his tongue and he made the funniest face.\u00a0 His eyes scrunched down (not his mad face, but kinda shocked) and he closed his mouth in a funny way.\u00a0 As she cleaned the goobers (medical term) from his face it was almost like he was playing with her.\u00a0 This coupled with his wide open eyes made for a great time of interaction in the midst of all his episodes.<\/font><\/p>\n

His latest “trick” is to hold his breath, usually when he is stretching or moving about.\u00a0 This is something that we do naturally when we move around but with Greyson being hooked up to a ventilator it makes an alarm go off everytime he does it.\u00a0 The alarm is for the vent and asks “tube obstructed?”.\u00a0 As soon as he stops holding his breath the alarm goes away.\u00a0 It’s amazing to me how many alarms the little guy can set off at one time.\u00a0 Yesterday he managed to have four alarms going off all at once.\u00a0 One for low oxygenation, one for obstructed tube, one for being cold, and while all this was going on he ran out of food which set of an alarm for that.\u00a0 It’s a crazy world he lives in sometimes.<\/font><\/p>\n

Well as always there is rarely a dull moment with Greyson.\u00a0 We’ll see what tomorrow holds!<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
