Connor is now 4 days post PDA surgery and is recovering well. They are weening him down on his pain medications and increasing his feeds.
He also decided yesterday morning that he was not going to wait for the docs to ween him off his ventilator but rather he would take care of that himself. So yesterday morning at 5 am, he pulled his own ventilation tube out. The nurse only figured it out cause they could hear him crying from his isolate.
He is now on CPAP and is doing fairly well considering everything. So they will now work on weening him down on the CPAP requirements.
Our other big news of the day is that they were able to transfer him to the Grey Nuns by our place. We are so excited to have him much closer to home. As well as know that it is a step closer to him making is way home to us.
He is all settled in well there now and the NICU is new in the last couple years. So it is quite the Hilton of NICU's. You have your own more private room, with lots more space.
We are now hoping that Connor will have the chance to make some strides forward without having to fight against his open PDA.
As well on the bowel front, he had a big poop tonight!! Which is a great sign that his bowels are beginning to kick into full gear following his hernia/bowel surgery.
day by day, week by week, baby steps!
