Feb. 6th
Jonathan did have 3 baggings the last one was at 240am! He is going to try breastfeeding for 10 mins for the first time, he did great I was a bit nervous though! The docs might want to try something different with jonathan because he is getting bagged a lot he doesn't seem tired and he does come back right away after his bagging but they will discuss more tomorrow!

5lbs
He is so big compared to his 1lbs 12ozs! Jonathan did require a bagging at 12am however they are going to alternate 6hours on canulla and 3 hours cpap. Jonathan received a shot (synergis) today. This is for RSV it helps build his immune system because rsv to us is a common cold but to preemies it is deadly, so from sept till april he will get this shot every month for this season and next! The neos say by age 2 preemies immune system will be that of their peers so he won't need it past next season the other down fall is that jonathan will have to stay in the house those months and no vistors allowed because of the rsv (we have seen to many preemies in picu (pediatric intensive care) for rsv and their reintubated and have i.v's and they may not make it they are so frail) so Justin and I won't take a chance of having to be back in the hospital and see Joanthan suffer, jonathan will have many years with us so a season is not going to hurt anyone! Some family is upset because even when he comes home in march he won't be allowed visitors (according to docs) till May even then you have to be healthy and wash, wash can not exspress enough wash your hands before touching Jonathan! I love all of you but you would be just as careful as I am if it were your baby!
A good day
Feb. 4
Jonathan had a great day today with no bagging episodes! The doctors are pleased with him he just needs to outgrow his apnea, it is taking him a bit longer than most but its because he is a twin and he was very sick in the begining. he received his immunization shots and it just made him a little sleepy!

4lbs 14ozs
FEBUARY 3rd
He is getting bigger and stronger! Jonathan needed a bagging at noon today, Justin and I were on our way from church so hopefully this will be the only one! When we got there I didn't hold him I just wanted him to rest maybe at 6pm when he is back on nasal! Grandma and grandpa shigley and grandma and grandpa vollbach came up to see their big boy grandson (Ilove saying that)! He looks great and comfortable at 6pm I couldnt take it anymore i had to hold him! He did great he high satted the whole time! I had to put him back at 7pm, thats when the nurses do their rounds andthe parents have to leave it was so hard putting him back in his crib but he did good, i swaddled him and he went back to sleep! As of midnight he is still doing excellent!

Terrible scare
FEBUARY 2
I held him today and he needed to be put back into his crib because he desat requiring a bagging! I tried again about an hour later and he seemed to be great high satting and everything, then all of a sudden his body went limp and he was the darkest blue you could think, I yelled for Justin to get the nurse and I was crying so hard I stood up put Jonathan back in his crib and the nurse had to bag him for a while it was so scary, he is fine but I couldn't stop crying i just kept playing it my head I NEVER WANT TO SEE THAT AGAIN!!!!!! He is so perfect, I hate seeing him hurt or struggle! He recovered shortly after and was smiling again! the nurse practioner is not worried its just the way Jonathan is and they promise us that he will out grow it, I hope sooner than later! He has not needed another bagging, he just needs to keep getting bigger and stronger!

Alternating
Jonathan did fine during the night so we will alternate cpap 3 hours then nasal 3 hours and so on. We are continuing non-nutrative feeding and today he didn't fall asleep boy oh boy he likes it!! Kim doesn't think he will have a problem with feedings so he sould do good when it comes time for real feedings! No baggings today!
What a surprise
Jan. 31
I called this morning and Jonathan had a good night, Kim told me she had a surprise for me when I got there! When I got to the hospital jonathan was id a crib, no more isolette!! Plus he has such good gases he no longer needs his TCM (measures CO2) plus he gets to start non-nutrative feeding!!!!!!! He fell asleep during the feeding but high satted the whole time! However when we put him back into the crib he needed bagging! Jonathan doesn't like big changes all at once, he needed two more baggings so the docs put him back on c-pap and we will see how he does during the night. My little pumpkin does try very hard but this was just to much to fast!
