Well, we are on day three and so far so good. He has gone up and down as far as the percentage of oxygen is concerned that he is receiving from the tube. He is close to breathing room air, but not there yet. Alaina got to change his diaper last night through the hand holes, and she was REALLY excited about that. One downfall he had was acidosis which means he wasn't exhaling as much CO2 as he was supposed to, but they have made adjustments for this. Tomorrow is a big day test wise. They will know if he has patent ductus arteriosis, which means a little flap in the heart may not have closed yet. They have been giving him medicine to try to close it and they will check it tomorrow. If it isn't closed (they can hear a murmur), then they will do an echocardiogram and then if needed surgery to fix it. I will 100% keep you posted on this.
Peyton is still in our Good Lord's hands and I know neither he or Alaina would be alive if that were not the case.
