Game Time - November 16, 2013

Owen is still doing great on CPAP.  The next step is to get Owen on the High flow Nasal Canula. For this to happen we have to slowly wean a few different settings on CPAP including his pressures, rate  and Peep. We have moved the rate don to 15 from 30 since Monday. They were going to wean the pressure today but his lung X-rays did not look great this morning so they are afraid that he might have an infection. They started Owen on Antibiotics again and are running some tests to see if there is an infection. Hopefully the X-rays will look better in the morning.

Owen is alot happier with out the tube in his throat, it is great to be able to handle him easier as well, with out the fear of extubating him on accident.

Owen is now gaining good weight!! he gained just over an ounce last night and is now just under 5lbs.

Owen is becoming more and more alert of his surroundings. He loves his music playing while he is sleeping (he gets fussy with out it and calms down as soon as you turn it back on). He is starting to notice his mobile and his bubble machine.

Getting in the Spirit!! It's Game day! Outfit was a present from one of the amazing people that work at UMC
