One Step Forward....Three Steps Back

So, Chase's surgery was a success and his blood pressure and breathing rates have improved, however his feedings have regressed. The doctors had stopped feeds for his surgery. The day after they began feeding him again and they kept getting back up in the tube. They had to drop back down to 1ml every 3 hours to actually get it to go in. We are up to 1ml every hour now, so it's a start back to where we were.

Conner was doing amazing on his vent settings last week he spent last Saturday and Sunday on the c pap but Sunday night it proved to be to much and he needed a break so they put him back on the conventional vent. Tuesday he was back on the pressurized oscillator. The nurse said today that she expects them to put him back on the conventional vent tomorrow to get back to where we were on the c pap.

Parenthood has proven to be a very serious roller coaster ride and we aren't even 7 weeks in yet.
