X-rays and ultrasound day

Dr.Whitborn came to see Beckett today since Dr.Grubbs isn't back until tomorrow.

Over the weekend, Beckett has increased his amount of episodes, and had a lot of desatting. Right now his oxygen settings have been the highest they have been. Hanging out at around 37 percent. The doctor ordered a blood gas and a chest x ray to see what's going on. The blood gas came back ok, not great, but ok. So we will see what the x ray tells us. They just want to make sure that they check everything out or we will see if he is just telling us, I'm tired from working so hard.

Over the weekend, the nurses also found some loops in his bowels. They come and go, and the doctor didn't see any today. And she confirmed that he has good bowel sounds, good coloring, his tummy is soft, and he is tolerating his feeds. Loops are one symptom that alarms them to pay attention. Again, please pray that no other symptoms develop that would lead to NEC.

Today is his follow up head ultra sound too, so let's pray for a miracle there. Last one reported a brain bleed of Grade 2. Please pray for less.

Poor Beckett has been messed with a lot already this morning, so we won't hold today. And he has yet to get the head ultra sound. :( he is going to be worn out. Pray for a restful, low stimulation rest of the day.
