Hello All!
Ryan is again doing a great job! Last post I had talked about the jet vent and why he was put on it. Since Thursday, he has switched to the regular conventional vent. His lung is doing good, but from here on out, they will be keeping a close eye on it. He has been doing great for the past few days on the vent, so they are trying him again on the CPAP today. I had called around 11:00am, and the nurse said they had just put the CPAP in at 10:00am and that she didn't think he looked comfortable. Most likely when I call again in a few, the vent will be put back in; I am hoping Ryan comes around though and that doesn't happen. He also has switched into a new incubator. The one he has been in is more for temperature control, but since he is now 3 POUNDS, he can maintain his own temperature and is usually hot - - just like his dad. Soon the nurse said he will be able to switch to an open crib! For now, we are just hoping his breathing gets better so he can get all the tubes out of his mouth/nose. When he is awake, you can tell they really bother him :(
