No more CPAP

December 22

Well the doctor called me at 5am to say they had to put Jonathan back on the ventilator he had another severe apnea spell just 30 mins after the last one, he was just to tired but I am so proud of him he fought to stay on that CPAP for 17 hours!!!! He amazes me, the docotrs were very impressed on how long he did stay on (good job pumpkin)!! The doctors put him back up to 30 BPM because he was so tired. They then put him down to 28 BPMhe seemed really tired today when we went to see him he kept bouncing from needing a lot of oxygen to needing moderate oxygen, I could tell he was really upset he just wanted to be left alone. I held him for about 1 hour and then he went into a deep sleep and the nurses left him alone for a bit. He is still tolerating his feedings and probably next week they will try to put him back on CPAP, they just want him to grow a bit more and become stronger. the doctors did a blood gas on him (take blood from his heal and measure his oxygen level, CO2) it was not very good so they had to increase his BPM to 32.
