Will has had a good day. His blood gases are getting better. They did have to make a slight change this afternoon around 4pm. He was on a high flow nasal canual to give him help in inflating his lungs but he was having to be put on about 76% oxygen in order to keep his sats up. Will's sweet nurse Donna didn't like what she was seeing so she contacted Dr Omara and they moved him to a CPAP machine which will give him that extra pressure to help him a little better. So Will has this head gear on and my mom thinks he looks like an astronaut. I died out laughing when I saw him. It was too cute. I also felt sorry for him because he was trying to figure out how to get that thing off his head. He had to have a chin strap put on as well to keep his mouth shut because he likes to sleep with his mouth open and it needs to stay shut so the air will go to his lungs and not out his mouth. He doesn't like the chin strap and has figured out how to pull it off. Smart little fella!! Dr Omara was not pleased earlier with the new machine but gave Will a few minutes for him to be impressed and Will did just that. So overall Dr Omara has been pleased.
Will's 9pm blood gases improved from his 4pm blood gases which is good. He likes his belly so they have given him the okay to be put back on his belly. I really want a picture of that. Unfortunately we are not there to see that. If his blood gases continue to improve then he will go back on the high nasal canual. If the blood gases get worse then he will go back on the ventilator. Please pray that his blood gases continue to improve and not get worse. He will have another blood gas in the morning.
