We are seeing some really good baby steps in the right direction.
CVP (we want it between 15 and 20) has been moving down and was 17 last time it was checked!
Rowan is getting fed a whole whopping ounce of formula every three hours (with plans to increase)
Rowan’s “stop looking like a microwaved marshmellow version of yourself” medicines are working well now
Chest tube out!
Foley catheter out!
Broken Leg IV out…new one in
However we are still have trouble with the ventilator. Rowan’s CO2 continues to drift upward…so they have had to go back up to 25 on his respiratory rate (how many breaths it gives him a minute) from a previous rate of 20. I would really like to not end up spending two months trying to get him to breath on his own again this round…
They are keeping him pretty sleepy and sedated so we have been spending very little time at the hospital. We call up frequently and both stop by to visit, but our daughter has really bad allergies so she can’t go up. We have been taking our daughter to have some Evelyn and Parents time since she has been so good and had to endure a lot.
Rowan gets all the attention and care he needs, and she is the one who gets pushed aside when things are tough. It’s nice to get to spoil her and show her how much we love and enjoy her for a while.
