Sorry to leave everyone hanging out there from Tuesday's post. I didn't have the energy to write last night. Isaac is doing well. He is having more of the bradys than before Tuesday night. So the doctors and nurses are trying different things. One is that they feel as if he has gotten a lot of mucus from the nasal cannula which is in the to photo on the blog. So they have been suctioning it out every so often so he has fewer bradys. He does not like it. In fact he seems to get mad at the nurses and holds his breath inspite of their efforts.
One of Isaac's doctors was there when I was there tonight. She said that today's nurse seemed to think that Isaac had some reflux and that might be why he has so much mucus in his throat. So they might try another medication to get him to move forward through these bradys. She told me that he might even be on it for over a month. I of course don't like that. I hate giving medication to babies. BUT right now if it helps his lungs to mature than what choice do we have?
Isaac has also nursed very well for the past few days. I am so happy with his progress. He doesn't nurse very long because he gets tuckered out really quickly. I have started calling him my champion. Truly this little boy has been through more than what I went through when I delivered him. Thankfully he will not remember any of it. I almost forgot that Isaac is now 4 lbs 1 oz!
I went to see my doctor today and he said I am free to live my life as normal, to do the things that I was banned from for a while. I asked him if he could keep the ban on exercise and he said he couldn't do that. Here I thought Doctor Johnson and I bonded through this ordeal and he was on my side...
Good night faithful readers! Much love to you and your family!
