Hello!
Well, today is......Tuesday...... Not much to tell about James' health condition. The team did an X-ray yesterday and found out that the air sacs in upper right lobe of his lungs are collapsed. I guess it's really nothing new for the team to see in preemie babies. James is receiving Pulmicort (corticosteroid) to treat the inflammation in his lungs. He also has some sort of a tool that vibrates his chest in the hope to help open up those air sacs. Today is the official day of Spring, I pray that James' air sacs will bloom like flowers in the Spring :D The team will do another X-ray (he's got this so many times, grrrrrrrr) to see if there's any changes to the lungs.
Let's see.... yes he weights 2 lbs and 2 oz, or 965 grams. The doctor really wants James to grow big and strong for them to start giving steroid (I'll have to check again) to boost the lungs development and treat the inflammation/edema/ and or other lungs disease he has. Another goal why James may receive the steroid treatment is to get him off of the ventilator. Let's get the tube out!
James was doing so good when I changed his diaper. His saturation was between 90 to 97 when I changed him. This is much better compare to when we first arrived. He stayed at low 80s high 70s, setting off the alarm every 5 minutes.
James smiled again :) This time Ryan saw it. YAY! So that's official :)
Thank you Lord!
