ventilator???
I talked to my baby's nurse this morning and she said he did very well again last night. I am so excited 2 nights in a row with no seizures, his heart rate is still in the 160's, and his jaundice has gone away for the time being that might come back though. They are lowering the settings on the ventilator and he is adjusting his breathing accordingly. They had to do a blood transfusion and they are waiting to see how he takes that before they take him off the ventilator. He is completely off his antibiotics they are just gonna watch for signs of the infection to come back. So all in all he is doing really well. The nurse said it is amazing that they are gonna take him off the ventilator considering his age and size.
Second update for today
Just a quick update. My mom and I went to see Kayden today, we were there for 2 1/2 hours. They were unable to take him off the ventilator yet, he didn't respond as well as they hoped he would but they are still hopeful that it will happen soon. While we were there, they fed him some of my breast milk. It was the first time he had my milk I'm glad I was there to see that. His blood glucose levels had come down which is good so they can give him some sugar and hope he starts gaining weight. It was really nice being there with him for a couple hours this time. I love that little guy more than I can explain or express. Here is a picture I took with my moms hands on his head and feet.
