Today was a great day.\u00a0 Last night we called in and got Greyson’s blood gas numbers.\u00a0 His c02 had risen again to 74.\u00a0 Not good.\u00a0 Every gas since he went on the cpap has been higher, not a good trend at all.\u00a0 Well today when I called and got his noon gas his co2 had gone down to 61!\u00a0 We are so excited he is doing so well.\u00a0 The real test (as if the last few days haven’t been a test, ha!) starts today as they have stopped the DEX.\u00a0 He’s flying solo now.\u00a0 No steroids to help him breath.<\/font><\/p>\n

He was a bit angry at times today.\u00a0 I think it is a combination of the cpap which irritates him and the fact that he’s been on steroids.\u00a0 He could be experiencing a bit of “roid rage” as the Dr. talked about when he started the DEX.<\/font><\/p>\n

When we first got\u00a0there today\u00a0he looked so good\u00a0and was as happy as can be.\u00a0 He was sucking on his fingers and seemed to be smiling.\u00a0 He is much less labile (up and down on his oxygen\u00a0saturation).\u00a0 While this is true\u00a0he is faced with a bit more of a challenge.\u00a0 He turned 34 weeks gestational age today and so his alarms\u00a0were raised.\u00a0 He used to alarm\u00a0if he was below 83 or above\u00a093.\u00a0 Now he has to stay above 87 and doesn’t alarm until 97 on the high side.\u00a0 Usually\u00a0the only reason he goes low is because his cpap mask has moved out of position (usually because he has “helped it”).<\/font><\/p>\n
