OK I thought this picture was extremely funny but couldn’t quite come up with a caption for it, any ideas?\u00a0 Here are a couple I came up with:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Mom, did you see my cool mobile?<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 OK mom, but then can I go play?<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Are you sure?<\/p>\n

Today was a fantastic visit with Greyson.\u00a0 Stacy called in the middle of the night and found out his c02 was still at 66 (up one point from the night before but below 70 which we can live with!).\u00a0 When we got to the hospital he was asleep but soon woke up and played with us for about an hour.\u00a0 We gave him another bath today and just had a wonderful time with him.<\/p>\n

So what made this a fantastic visit?\u00a0 Well the first was that Greyson got some nasal canula time again today.\u00a0 He has been restricted to the cpap since Saturday for having such high blood gas numbers.\u00a0 Today he got to be on the canula from 2-6pm.\u00a0 That was good but what really made it a great visit was the fact that while he was on cpap he was only requiring 21-24 percent oxygen (we breath 21 percent in case you forgot!) and on the nasal canula he was only requiring 32 percent.\u00a0 This is significant because when I last saw him on thursday he was needing 30-33percent on cpap, and 40-45percent on canula AND he was having trouble keeping his oxygenation level up.\u00a0 Today he did this and barely set off his alarms all day.\u00a0 This made for a nice visit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course it wasn’t perfect, they ran his gas at 6pm to see how he did after 4 hours on the canula.\u00a0 His c02 was 75.\u00a0 Not what we hoped for but the encouraging thing was that his blood gas showed improvement in other areas (I only report on c02, but the gas consists of a lot more complex stuff.\u00a0 So things like his ph was better which is good even if his c02 number wasn’t).<\/p>\n

This is significant because what they think happened last weekend was that the diuretic drugs they were giving him caused his body to become to acidic.\u00a0 This caused his body to actually retain c02 in an effort to help correct his metabolic acidosis.\u00a0 It’s all very complicated but basically his metabolism was messed up so he was keeping the c02 in his system.\u00a0 So the drug he is on now helps him decrease his acid level which should help him release excess c02.\u00a0 He is very fragile and it is difficult for the Dr’s as they give him drugs to try to help one area can cause another area to go out of wack.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On a slightly different note Shaun has put a link together for easier viewing of all the pictures.\u00a0 You can access it by going to (http:\/\/westfall.raquet.net\/GreysonWestfall\/Greyson%20Westfall.html<\/font><\/a>) Enjoy.\u00a0 Shaun also was also able to pull up the statistics for this web blog, it is averaging\u00a0100 hits a day!\u00a0 I must say that was very shocking.\u00a0 Thanks for reading everyone it’s nice to know you care!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
