The Jet Won

No... no.. not the New York JETS. Sorry to disappoint you all. Although... we're in Illinois.. so no Jets fans, right? right?


I am talking about the jet ventilator. This guy right here:


Picking up from yesterday's health status: James' blood gas lab result wasn't his best. It just seemed like he wasn't tolerating the O2 support the jet ventilator is giving him. The resident decided to talk to the doctor about switching James to the oscillator. However, before they did the switching, they'd like to maximize the O2 pressure on the jet to see if James will tolerate that --- and lo behold he did! So keep that oscillator in the closet :)

James stayed at 55% of O2 for the rest of the night. They did another X-ray and saw some improvement of his lungs. I am actually not sure which side of the lung that was looking kind of hazy and is now improving slowly. James weigh at 844 grams from 810grams the day before. Well, someone said I should convert the grams to lb and oz, so I will. 844 grams = 1 lb 12 oz. YEAH!!

Will post photos later :) They're on different computer.

Let's get the feeding schedule started, I want to see my baby grows a little bigger :)
