July 8, 2008 - Day 29
Today was a good day for Brendan. He is still on 3liters and 25% oxygen. Up until now he had been receiving one dose of caffeine in a 24 hour period today the doctor decided to try doing a dose every 12 hours instead to see if that helps him have less Brady's and desats. He also had some x-rays done on his belly today to see what is going on in there. The nurse wanted to make sure his NG (feeding) tube and everything was ok since he has been having some reflux and spit up issues. They discovered that his intestines were a little bit distended so instead of pushing him more with the bottle feedings they are going to give his belly a break again and feed him through the tube. They are going to do more x-rays on his belly Wednesday morning and if the intestines have calmed down they will try the bottle again, if not they will wait another day. Shocking in our family that Brendan would have any stomach issues at all haha!
Tonight we both got to hold Brendan...yay! Devin did his bath and changed his diaper...I took his temperature. Brendan did not have any Brady's or desats while we were there.
