Increase o2
So as of today Bryce is now 8lbs. 13oz. We went to his pulmonologist Tuesday and he decided that due to Bryce now having pulmonary hypertension and having the ALTE we needed to increase his oxygen instead of giving him time off every day. Bryce is now on 300 cc's 24/7. And instead of being monitored only at night he needs to be on the pulse ox all day as well to watch his sats carefully. They want to be sure he doesn't go under 95%. His nurse came today and said he is wheezing again... Who wants to bet we end up in the hospital this weekend. Hopefully not, but we'll see. Although Steve and I are still married we have decided that it is only fair for us to split the kids on the weekends like a divorced couple would do since I am in much need of a break, so this weekend is my weekend off! What am I going to do????? The sad part is I probably won't do anything! I will probably stay home with the kids. BUT I won't have to do the dirty work I will just get to play and Steve will do all the crappy stuff! I wonder how long this arrangement will last..Hmmmmmm.... Anyway we also saw Bryce's GI doc, we figured out the Bryce is allergic to Reglan so we will not be taking that anymore, so for now he is on 15mg of Prevacid, hopefully this will help with the GERD, it seems the GERD plays a HUGE part in him having the ALTE's. For now thats about it. Pics coming soon. I am trying to get one of him smiling so everyone can see just how precious he is!

Holy Cow. I think of you often because Emma was born around the same time. You are a strong mom to be with him through all of this. How are the girls?
