Today was a busy day in the house today. I had been wondering where my nurse Tiffany had been and she came to take care of me today. She told me she was sick last week and didn't want to spread any germs to me so she decided to stay home. It was so nice to hear her voice again today. Then, this morning I saw my new Hospice nurse Carol again and we visited for a while.
A little bit later Haley (who orders all my supplies) showed up to drop off some bigger nasal cannulas. After my visit with Dr. Gien yesterday, he noticed that my cannulas were for infants which explained my low oxygen levels. So now we switched to the pediatric size and that seems to help at times.
Then my afternoon got a little bit crazy. My heart rate started to soar and my oxygen dropped to the lowest levels we have seen in a while. I scared Tiffany so much that she called back Carol because my oxygen would not get above 85% for a while. She tried everything but nothing seemed to work. Of course, right before Carol arrived I started to recover. I always do that to Mommy and Daddy too.
Tiffany did notice that I am having trouble laying on my left side where my heart and stomach are. We will keep an eye on that over the next few days and see if my heart rate goes up and my oxygen drops when I'm on my left side. It could also be something to do with my left lung.
Since I really haven't opened my eyes again today (day 4 of the super sleepy state), Mommy decided not to take another picture. Daddy said we should start retro Wednesday where Mommy posts an older picture of me. Below is a picture just a few minutes after I was born with my Daddy.
