It has been longer than I thought since I last blogged. We took Isaac to the pulmonologist on Tuesday. He wanted us to start lowering his oxygen intake. He came home on 1/4 liter and we lowered it down to 1/8 liter. While he was at 1/4 his saturation was hovering around 95. It should be anything above 90. After lowering the oxygen it is still at 95. We will stay at this amount for a week and then try lowering it again until we have weaned him off of it.
The opthomolgist appointment brought good results as well. His eyes are progressing the way they should be. We go back again in two weeks for another check up.
The at home nurse came by yesterday and I a happy to report that he is now 6 pounds and 10 ounces. I am very pleased that he continues to gain weight at a steady pace.
Today was my first day by myself during the day. It went well overall. I had some friends come and visit so that was nice. However, I could tell arianna didn't get enough mommy time. My sweet girl is going through some changes but she is strong and I know she will make it. Sometimes I scoop her up and just remind her that she is still Loved and very special!
I called our insurance yesterday. We are maxed out with both our deductible and out of pocket for Isaac and me. It is a good thing as the bills have started rolling in.
Have a great night!
When can he start coming to church?
ReplyDeleteProbably not for quite awhile unfortunately. With his lungs being still too immature he really should not be in crowds.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are doing well! We need to catch up!
