Ride Gigi's tractor
Corbin had his day made today because we got to go to the swimming pool AND go to the farm to ride the tractors and see the neigh neighs. He went to bed tonight one happy boy. We also went up to the hospital this morning to see Mason and Corbin finally got to see him out of his "house". Pam was getting ready to change his diaper and work with him so she raised the top so we could give him some love and see him. In his picture below you can see how much he has grown.
Mason had several blood gases that weren't as good as they had been so they have gone up some on his rate and pressures. They also did some labs and his hemoglobin was low so they did a blood transfusion. His platelets were also dropped (down to 96) but they rechecked just those this evening and it showed 136 so they think it was just lab error. They let his feedings be today and didn't increase since he was getting blood but will look at that again tomorrow. Hopefully they will get this blood gas thing straightened out...prayers for this because he had been doing very good. They want everything just right before they try to extubate again because all was great before they did it last time and it still didn't go well.
I am praying for you all of you! I hope the next extubation goes well. I know how stressful that is for everyone. My son was born at 23 weeks as well and he always had issues being extubated. It was all to do with this airway, it had narrowed from the tubes, and just being a micropreemie. Anyway, if you have an questions or just want to talk please feel free to email me plemons@tds.net I will keep praying for your sweet boy and your family. You will make it through this!
