We are back on the C-PAP.... sad. I received a call from the NICU tonight around 6:30. Isaac had more bradies and desats than they want this afternoon. So they did some more blood work to see if he has another infection and everything came back normal. The doctor thought maybe he was just tired from the nasal cannula so she put him back on the C-PAP as well as he is going to be on a few more rounds of the diuretic to remove some more fluid. He did lose a little bit of weight over the night. But I thought he had gained too much in one day any way so I am wondering if yesterday's weight gain wasn't actually accurate. She said to not be surprised if he loses more weight over the next few days due to the diuretic. Can i have some of that? I could use the weight loss.
I went in this morning and kangaroo held him. Wow, how nice, his head was right under my chin and I kept kissing his head. He slept on me for about an hour. He sure is snuggly. I kept falling asleep too.
Please pray for the doctors and nurses to have wisdom about what is going on and for Isaac to become stronger and stronger every day. I spoke in his ear, before they lowered the top of his isolette, and I reminded him that he is a strong boy and that he is going to overcome all of these challenges. I assured him that I loved him and that he couldn't do anything to change that.
David and I know our son is coming home one day and that he will live and not die... sometimes this rollercoaster ride isn't very fun. I gave up rollercoasters in my late 20s... they make my stomach queasy, kind of like how some of the phone calls I receive from the NICU make me feel.
