Back on the Oxygen train...

Yup thats right, as of Friday night Bryce is back on oxygen. He is on as needed, during feeding and at night. We were delivered about 8 tanks and a condensor Friday night along with a pulse ox. Its not a bad thing though, it is just to help him along during stressful times of day. He desats quite a bit at night and during feeds so we need it just to make things a bit easier for him. I can say though that I cannot imagine for a minute what it is like having a child full time on Oxygen. Just the little bit that we need it is so stressful. Maybe once I get more comfortable with it it won't be so bad, we'll see... Anyway Bryce has hit 6 lbs! He such a fatty I love it! His cheeks are the best! EI came last week and Bryce is developmentally equivalent to a newborn, which he should be because he is only 2 weeks old adjusted. He is having some issues with feeding and so we are working on that. We may have to do a swallow study for his reflux and a few other things that are going on. We will see GI doc soon and find out for sure. Also we will now start seeing pulmonology to follow his lung issues. So needless to say he is keeping me on my toes, but thats OK. I just love him to pieces!
