More Os, Please

Lincoln has been doing fine without oxygen the past two and a half days, except when he is drinking a bottle. He has been showing me he is too tired to drink and always passes out during a bottle feeding. He was satting 96 and above mostly during the day, but falling to 90 while eating. So, it's back to continuous Os on 0.1 liters for a week to give Lincoln some more time. It was so nice to have a glimpse of the future. I know Linc will be off soon. We cannot push him. Whatever he needs is what he gets!

This morning we went to the pediatrician for Lincoln's last synagis shot for the season (RSV antibodies)! Yay! Lincoln enjoyed the visit, until the shot that is. He was flurting it up with the nurses! The Doc was very pleased to see Lincoln on RA (room air) and breathing so comfortably.  (Little did she know that later in the day he would be back on...He's almost there.)  She was only concerned about his lack of growth over the past 3 months. She is aware that CDH kids have a hard time in that department, so she didn't offer any advise. Lincoln was actually down 2 oz from last month's visit, no growth for length and 0.4 increase HC.  She is leaving his diet up to his therapists and SLCH docs.

We won't be back to the peds office for two months! That will be Linc's 12 month check up!  Crazy how time flies!  We have been going to the ped every month since Lincoln came home, so a month off is wonderful.  One more indication that Lincoln is doing well overall.
