Andrew seems like he is doing a little better today. His ventilator is still on 50 but his oxygen was back down around 65% when we left, which is good. He got a new neighbor, a 26-weeker that was born today. A new doctor came on call today too, but I didn't get to meet her yet as she was out when we were there.
Andrew has gotten to a gestational age where they do not want his oxygen sats above 95% because they don't want to harm his lungs. So now the goal is anywhere from 85%-95%.
The night nurse has been messing up his weight each night in the conversion from grams to pounds. The grams are correct and I have been changing it to pounds on my own because I knew it was wrong, but the day nurse today finally understood what I was telling her and she was able to fix that in his chart.
I also got to hold him again today. :smile: For about 20 minutes. His sats kept going up above 95% so they had to keep turning down the oxygen so he would stay in that 85-95 range.
He looked good today too. Good color and skin wasn't as dry as it has been. Josh didn't go in because he has a sore throat.
