Day 29… March 15th
I can hardly believe our little guy is 4 weeks old already, and already over 4lbs! Time has flown by!
Heart echo came back normal as well, wohoo! They did another chest Xray this morning, which showed his lungs to be a bit more hazy, and looked like fluid building up. They gave him some medication to help clear it out. His nurse Amanda mentioned the secretions she’s pulled thus far today have looked better than they did yesterday… less thick and mucousy. Hopefully thats a good sign the antibiotics are helping. Plan of attack over the weekend: He still has another day or two of antibiotics, they’ll give him a steroid for his lungs, and will do a trial extubation on Monday to try to get him switched back over to the CPAP machine. Hopefully with all of that, we’ll get back on track with his respiratory care!
