Ryan is still resting on the vent. He is retaining too much CO2 at this time. We knew that this was a possibility when he was put to sleep with anesthesia.
They are starting his chest physiotherapy to help manage the gunk built up in his lungs. His breathing treatments have also been restarted.
Ryan feeds will resume again around 5pm this evening. Since his gut was asleep with the rest of his body he will receive 40mls of 20 calorie formula. This should help him rest since he hasn’t eaten anything since midnight the night before.
It is hard watching Ryan while he isn’t feeling the best. He grimaces and moves around and gives me the biggest puppy dog eyes as to say “mommy why?” He doesn’t understand why mommy can’t help. Of course that pulls at the heart strings even more because all I want to do is be able to DO something.
It’s been a rough day. Ryan is beginning to rest easier with
sedation/pain meds but it’s hard for mommy to wake up to an empty crib.
The doctors will try the weaning process again tomorrow.
Hopefully he will be able to come off of the vent at that time.
