Henry on CPAP
11am: dr just did rounds and said it's time. My stomach is freaking out as much as it was prior to the surgery. He doesnt always feel like breathing on his own and that is what he's going to have to do from now on. We grilled the Dr about what happens to make sure he is ok and she said they watch him extra close and jump when the alarms go off....now they hardly flinch when he sets off the alarms because they know the ventilator will take care of his breathing.
They are planning on doing this in an hour, approx 11:30. In the mean they are giving him Caffine...yup caffine! This is to make sure the little bugger stays awake so he remembers to breathe!
8:30pm: We're home..long day, but Henry did great!!!!!!! He was taken off the ventilator today and did really well. One of the Dr's even took pictures for us when they had all the crap off his face..so nice of her. He seems soo much happier on CPAP, he no longer has a tube going all the way down, now it's 2 small prongs in his nose just giving him a little bit of oxygen. They said he might need a little more assistance tonight because he'll be so tired, but when we left he was doing good.
I got to hold him again!!!!! He was so comfy he fell asleep for a bit.

Geez Carli - I feel for you and Jaime! I know from going thru a lot of this with my nephews how difficult each step is. but Henry is doing great - it amazes me how strong these lil babies are! hang in there and take care of yourself, too. HUGS!
He looks great! So glad he is on CPAP. Dont worry; those monitors will make sure he is safe. That is what they are there for.
Bobby and Maya just came off their caffeine recently. It was so funny to think of them getting that; I called it their daily cup of coffee.
Oh Wow Carli! He looks great. I love that I can keep up with what you are up to through this blog. We think of you and Jaime and always have you in our prayers. We love you and can't wait to see Bella and Henry soon. Hugs. You two are amazing human beings. I feel very proud to know you.
