Brodie had a good night last night and a good morning. He is almost back down to the oxygen level that he was at before the last setback Thursday night. I am flying solo at the hospital for a little bit while LaVona goes and gets the full hair treatment. I know that this will be good for her and she needs a little time away. I am sitting in the dungeon that is Brodie's hospital room. Since his last setback they have gone back to the lights off and quiet room policy. The layout of the NICU has rows of beds in an open room (which I call general population) and the rooms on the outer edges (I refer to them as solitary confinement or the suites depending on my mood). As I look out into general population I am jealous of the light and open air that they get to enjoy. The sickest babies get the suites so we live for the day we get to move out of here. I now understand why solitary confinement makes people go crazy. Hopefully today we can make some good progress on his oxygen. They have decreased his blood pressure medicine, his sedation medicine and are not giving his paralyzing medicine at the first sign of the slightest movement. Today they are also putting him back on feeds. He will be on a continous drip of breast milk. This is big step in the right direction buy also scares us because he had his biggest setback after they started his feeds the first time. We welcome every change in the right direction but we also are terrified because we all know at this point how sensitive he is and how things can change in a second. Make it a good Saturday and I hope that everyone has the same beautiful weather that we are experiencing. Prayers go out to all the people that are effected by all of the fires.
