Greyson really likes to help with his suctioning these days.\u00a0 As you pull the catheter out (which means both hands are busy) he likes to grab it.\u00a0 Then when you say things like, “hey don’t grab that!” he smiles much like is seen in this picture.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So the vent changes continue but Stacy tells me that the settings he is on today is REALLY what the Dr. wants it to be at.\u00a0 So he is at a pressure support of 17 (12 with a peep of 5).\u00a0 I’m just hoping we can leave it alone for a little while.\u00a0 Greyson did have a blood gas today before they turned his vent back up and it was good, his ph was 7.37 (normal range is 7.35-7.45) and his c02 was 52 (ideally we would like his c02 to be under 50, but for Greyson this is not bad at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The eye Dr. came by tonight and saw Greyson again (same eye Dr. that saw him in the NICU).\u00a0 He came in and asked why Greyson was still in the hospital, to which Stacy thought, “can’t you see the ventilator tubing!?”\u00a0 Of course she didn’t say that.\u00a0 Anyway he looked in Greyson’s eyes and said there was nothing remarkable.\u00a0 No scarring and the back of his eye looks really good which means his vision should be normal.\u00a0 So he may need glasses some day, but that will not be related to his prematurity, but rather genetics.\u00a0 Hopefully he’ll have his mothers eyes and not his fathers and won’t need glasses.\u00a0\u00a0Either way\u00a0it’s great to know his eyes are “OK”.\u00a0 God has certainly been watching over him.<\/p>\n

Speaking of eyes the one area the\u00a0eye Dr. was not happy about was the scratches by Greyson’s right\u00a0eye.\u00a0\u00a0He is really waving his arms around now\u00a0and gave himself quite a scratch.\u00a0 We will have to stay on top of those fingernails.\u00a0 Well it’s late again so we need to get to bed.\u00a0\u00a0We have to try to get some sleep before Tuesday when we take over his care.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
