[QUOTE="fit2btied, post: 383645, member: 6"] Just got back home and the baby is doing much better! :D :D :D They were giving him pain meds to keep him sleeping and laying still and stopped that this morning so he is awake some now. They removed the respirator and just put him on oxygen, breathing on his own. He pulled the oxygen hose out of his nose within 30 seconds so they had to secure it better. I figured they were gonna break out the duct tape! :) They stopped the suction pump that was pulling the fluid off his lungs but left the tubes in place. He started struggling a little with his breathing so they upped the oxygen flow a little and restarted the suction pumps and everything settled back down. The NICU nurse asked me if I wanted to change him and I said "You bet, as long as there aren't any surprises in there!" Now I've had my turn so I won't have to do that again 'til after he has his first birthday! :) There are probably 40 - 50 babies in the unit where he is, some have been there for over 6 months. We truly are blessed. Doctors said that he had went well beyond their expectations for the first 24 hours but they would keep him for at least a week to finish the full round of antibiotics they started him on. We thank you so much for all your thoughts and prayers and ask you to continue to remember him and all those other little ones. Thanks again, Mike [/QUOTE]
