Baby GL is a little trooper. Yesterday's x-rays showed more of the cloudiness in the lungs that we don't want to see. Due to that they left him on 6 liters of pressure on the high flow cannula with 45% oxygen. Overnight Thursday he was down to 4 liters but with the x-ray results the goal was to open the lungs more to clear out the junk. The good news is that they are not calling what he's had pneumonia. It's more the result of shallow breaths and residual aspiration. He is coughing a bit more now which is good to work out that junk.
Other than hanging out and trying to sleep there really isn't anything he's doing. I had to laugh when I went yesterday. The nurse was trying to settle him so she pulled out the vibrating chair and propped the tv in front of him. I walked into Barney and Friends. He seemed to like it. He fell asleep. I may have to break the tv habit, though, when he comes home. He probably liked having the noise and songs. The other nurses kept finding music on the computer for him because all those baby musical toys time out too soon. Baby GL is very clever. He knows what he likes that is for sure.
