A long night on the hospital pull out. Baby GL is doing well. All night he was on 8 liters of pressure on C-PAP, down to 60% oxygen from 100%. His CO2 levels are improving. Around 10am they turned the pressure to 6 liters. The goal is just to continue weening his oxygen. Baby GL was a little restless last night so he was put on a light sedative to get him to relax his lungs and calm him. Especially on C-PAP he fights and the mask comes loose.
Today they will start feeding him his milk again. I was forced to throw 4 oz of milk out yesterday that I had thawed for him. It's difficult after 6 months to continue nursing with a pump and I can't keep up to his feedings so to see any of it dumped just exhausts me.
Baby GL will have another x-ray this afternoon. We are hoping to see the pneumonia clearing up. We are expecting to be in the hospital a few more days until it's completely clear.
Today our goal is to just let him heal. It's a holiday at least so no worries about needed to be anywhere.
