It was the tale of two boys today. Tyler, at least for the moment seems to be doing well. Although his CO2 levels remain around 50 he is able to still remain on the high flow cannula and off of the the CPAP. I got to hold him today for about two hours. He tolerated it well and we had a great cuddle. We gave him a bath, which he seemed to tolerate as well. Parker, unfortunately has taken a step backwards. He just wasn't progressing and seemed to be getting worse, so the docs increased his vent settings. Most of the progress he had been making in small incremental steps were all but erased today as they had to increase them all back up. Heather did get a chance to hold him today, but he just doesn't seem to be doing very well. The docs are still keeping him on the wait and grow theme. It doesn't seem to be working, but what else is there? It's getting a bit frustrating. They will be 36 weeks gestational age this week and Parker is still on the vent. I'm waiting and hoping for his turnaround.........
