After his morning fluff and buff, they put him on CPAP for the day. Once again this is where Logan drives the breathing but the vent gives him a little pressure behind it. He did great and the nurse and I asked the intensivist if we could put him on a trach collar. This is where the ventilator is disconnected and he has a little dome over the site delivering oxygen. After 2 hours they will put him back on CPAP and possibly on the traditional vent to give him a rest for the night. He is doing so good holding his own.
On another note, I went to the Ronald McDonald house and met some very nice people tonight. I want to give a shout out to Miss Lily in the NICU and her mom Annie and grandma Barbara. Lily is a preemie and they describe her as a strong feisty girl. It was so nice to visit with them and have them share their journey. We are not alone in parenting these exceptional children and it really does take a village! Or in our case, Team Logan!
this is so helpful and important information about ventilator thanks for sharing.
