Day 39 of Life - July 27th

The little one has had some ups and downs today, but seems to be back on the right road. He had some bradycardias today (meaning his heart rate slowed down), so they had to temporarily hike up his oxygen rate to get over these episodes. Before these episodes started, he was at a rate of 10 and has now made it back down to 20. They will do another blood gas and try weaning him back down to a rate of 10.

Before the episodes, they had also discussed extubating him again...but obviously, because the turkey doesn't know how to behave sometimes, they have stopped talking about this for now.

Sha is recovering from his rough day...and hopefully Ma can recover from hers.

    Sorry to hear about all your troubles and hopefully, yes you can make a change.......

    Sorry to hear Sha had a bad day too, but those nurses and doctors are doing a great job.

    Stay strong, the both of you - you too Pa!!!

    Cheerio, Sha, Ma and Pa! Aaron and I are currently in Glasgow, and we will be coming home on Sunday. This is the first opportunity to get the internet, so mom has been keeping us informed of the little one from home. Glad to hear that you guys are still doing well. We miss you, and we send Sha his first greetings from overseas! Take care of each other, and we hope to see you when we get back.

    Lots of love,
    Unkie Aar and Auntie Kris
