So today we walked into the NICU and low and behold we saw little man on 73% Oxygen and also on 45 BPMs with a Peep of 14. 73% O2 is good considering everything else. Dr Prince has been really aggressive with his treatment. He is now giving him a 3 day high dose of steriods. This seems to be working. He still is weighing at 9 lbs 6 ozs. His tummy has been a bit upset but it could be because of multiple things. I cannot say how much I love Dr Prince. He was stat'ing okay. He did manage to throwup some food so they stopped his feedings for an hr and resumed again.
During the late night/early morning he threw up again. They stopped his feedings again. He also finally is starting to bhave bowel movement again. He is a bit aggravated but that is probably because of the steriods.
Dr Prince stated that if we can get his O2 down to 60% that his lungs should start growing new tissue. Of course this is a long process for him to completely heal. So there is a chance our little man will not need a lung transplant. So far it is looking like everything is going in his favor.
