Jordan was transitioned to the CPAP this morning, but after displaying signs of her mother's feistiness and many bouts of pulling the CPAP out of her nose when the nurses weren't looking, it was decided to put her on the nasal cannula and hope for the best, which made her tons happier and displayed no breathing issues the entire day. Jordan had also shown good readings enough to not need her TPN and Lipid fluids (yeeeaaaahhhh! sometimes, being feisty is good!) Today will also be Jordan's first day back on tube feeding, starting her off at small cc's and gradually building her back up.
The next step for her will be to get her out of the warmer bed, back into the crib with her brother and hopefully start trying to bottle feed again. Let's hope for the best!
Jordan's official numbers for the day are:
4 lbs. 8 oz
1 dirty diaper
7 wet diapers
0 brady episodes
1 desats
daily dose Lasix diuretics
potassium 2 x day
tube feeds started today at 12 pm, 20 ml
21% Room Air on 1 Liter flow
And...more forward motion for Jacob...Jacob has been taken off of the nasal cannula and is doing so well!
Jacob's official report for the day:
4 lbs. 1 oz.
0 brady episodes
0 desats
Breathing completely on Room Air, no assistance!
37 CC's of 24 calorie fortified milk, with now 6 bottles a day!
3 dirty diapers
7 wet diapers
0 CC's residuals
I had an exciting day with Jacob as well...He took a whole bottle today on Formula, and he burped for me (I know it sounds crazy, but ya'll have to understand. Jacob only burps for his momma and Gramma Susu (I usually get the burp from the stinky end and have to change him mid feed, so this was big for me!)
More as it develops! Thank you for all of your love, prayers and thoughts! More progress reports soon!
Kind regards,
The Cordova Family (Andy, Sheri, Jacob & Jordan)
