Our Journey: April 2010

Getting Better

So... our little man is on the mend, most of the meds he was on have been stopped. Everett coughed and pulled out his breathing tube 4 hrs before the docs were going to do it. Then they put a c-pap on him which is a mask held in place by a bunch of head gear and straps, he didnt like that either and pulled it off twice. So now he is just on high flow nasal canulas with 35% O2, and his stats and blood gasses are holding steady. Now we will try and slowly turn down air flow, and O2% to 21% which is what is in the normal air.

On out way home!

I have been pretty hesitant to write that we have been out of ICU for about a week, and we can come home! He went to breathing on his own since Friday, and has done awesome!!
Everett is doing really good! He will have a feeding tube for a little while.... But thats ok...

So after 70 days of being down here, we are going to be released!!!
Hope to see everyone soon!

Much love

Grandma Mike
