Week 22 – Day 5

Brendan had an OK day today. They started slowly on the new drug and it hasn’t really had an effect. His blood gas levels were the same this morning. He did come down a bit on pressure settings on the vent and seemed to be sticking in about the same place sats-wise.
His tracheotomy is scheduled for Tuesday at noon. It would pretty much take a miracle to avoid that procedure at this point.
He was fairly cranky when he was awake, although I managed to get about 45seconds of happy baby and got one good smile for the camera.

He liked his bouncy chair for a while, but went back to most of the day on his belly. Sleeping prone helps open up his airways.

It is sad how the mask is smashing his forehead and making him look mad while he is trying to have happy face.

Trevor had a morning bath of course

Put a baby in a crabby outfit, get a crabby baby!

Super cute baby!

Even crabby babies eventually take naps.
