Eye Surgery

So as you can see it's been a while since I last updated.... Well heres whats been happeneing...

I started working last week from home a few hours a week. So the few hours that I have, have been spent working so I haven't been able to update. Then yesteray I went back to work in the office. It was a nice change... Hard but nice.
As far as Bryce goes he has been doing well he is now 4lbs. 6.2 oz. Huge huh? Things have been pretty quiet as of this morning he was down to .75 flow and 21 O2 (basically nothing) So thats been great and he's been feeding well. He has had a few eye exams in the meantime and things were staying pretty stable..... Until this afternoon. Dr. McCabe came to check his eyes around 1pm, and Bryce was in surgery at 9:30 pm. I am just getting home now and its 12:30am. The surgery went great, actually the doctor said Bryce was one of his best so far. But about an hour after the surgery Bryce hd a BIG spell he desatted VERY low and pretty much stopped breathing. The nurses were able to get him back but it was pretty scary, they said its from the sedation. By the time I left the hospital he was back satting at 100% and starting to wake up. Hopefully the night will only get better. Oh and before the surgery they put in back on VapoTherm in hopes they wouldn't have to intubate him and out him back on the vent and so far so good. Lets pray he holds steady then he can ho back on cannula tomorrow or the next day! Well thats all for now, I need to sleep. (as best as I can) Good Night or morning at this point!

Glad to hear he is doing better. We all hoped that he wouldn't have to have the surgery, but he will probably see better than all of us now. We still keep him in our prayers.
