Hi All,
A, B, D's? What's that? A-Apnea, B-Bradys, D-Desats. That was the story today with Miss Madison. I told you how they were going to count her B's and D's to determine whether or not to put her back on the vapotherm. Well she reached the magic number and went back on the vapotherm. She, however, continued to have these "episodes" so now they are looking at reflux as a possible cause. They have elevated her bed and started her on a medicine called reglan to see if that alleviates these symptoms. Another possible cause for the increase in these is infection, but since they did all that work up earlier in the week and the antibiotics they are not thinking that is the case.
By tonight she was doing much better. She had only had 1 episode since the 7 o'clock nurse came on shift.
This is all normal preemie stuff...or so they say...but it's still hard when you see your baby turn blue to not FREAK out. You just tap on them and disturb them and they come right back, then you can breathe again.
Thanks for the prayers!
