I guess I'm on the roller coaster now.... But I hope it doesn't get scarier. May 23

Well I posted on FB but to those that missed... Wesley's blood culture from earlier this week showed some growth so they discontinued feedings and started antibiotics.  Took another blood culture to make sure there wasn't a contaminant to cause the growth which is what I hope for.  They are weaning him down on the oxygen pressure which is great.  The sooner they get him down to room air pressure the sooner they can move him.

The nurse said the dr was talking about transfer but nurse said they usually move the babies on a return trip.  Like one baby is coming back to hospital and one catches a ride back to where that one was.  Being a lateral move (both hospitals are a level 3) it is not likely there will be a ride to catch.  Working on finding out more ways to move him.  Angel flight told me he needs ground transport. But not sure if that is because it would be overkill or because it isn't safe.  When joe worked at metro aviation he helped modify the units the babies went in on the medical helicopters and they are pressure controlled.

Nurse tonight said he had one episode of bradycardia and she did have to stimulate him.  Otherwise he is doing good and weighs 2# 5oz.  He won't gain much now that food has stopped :( 

He is tolerating the oxygen at its level which is great and she said he is a very sweet boy.  I said aren't they all at this stage? And she said no not really and laughed.  Said some can be little "tarts."  I assume that is synonymous with sour, bad etc.  She said she can't promise he won't be a tart when he leaves but he is sweet now :). The day nurse said he has one over the hearts of all the nurses.  

Love my little man! 

I hope my little man looks like this tonight all comfy on his tummy (his fav position)
