Room Air!

Bryce is on 21% oxygen - aka room air! Still on the conventional ventilator and tolerating it all really well, too.

So we'll probably take him home tomorrow.

A girl can dream, right?!

We have so far to go still and we could take one of those NICU back steps at any time now. But I feel great about where we are and how Bryce is doing.

They've left the amount of food Bryce gets at each feeding the same (4cc) but are increasing feeds to every 4 hours from 6. Hopefully he'll continue to do well with his respiratory issues so we can continue to make baby steps with his feeds. If we can get some nutrition in him I feel confident he'll really starting make some progress.

More coming soon - thanks for checking in with us!

  2. I'm not gonna lie, when I read, "we take him home tomorrow" I was like...WHAT!?! LOL...cute Trina. :o) So glad that Bryce is doing so well. He's blessed to have such wonderful parents. Good job, you should be really proud of him - and proud of both you and Caleb as well!

    Hugs and Prayers,

  4. That's awesome! Once he gets on CPap and every time the settings lower your heart will jump and feel so wonderful bc it is one step closer to really taking him home. On your twitter with the diaper change, every time Blake was wet or dirty he desatted so the nruses would crank him when it was a nurse that didn't know him. We had to explain to them that dirty diapers really upset him enough for him to desat and to check his diaper before they cranked the O2. Glad he is doing so much better

  5. That's wonderful!! I remember when our boy hit 21%! How great! I'm glad he is doing well with the conventional vent and the feeds. When they started letting our little guy eat it made a big difference.

    I'm so happy to read this great update!

  6. As you know my three angels, I am not too internet swavy, but here goes another try at posting. I am just so excited, I can hardly stay here in Lousisana, but I look at the blog several times a day and gaze at the pictures. We may have to get Skipe???? (that;s what someone told me) Anyway I love all three of you and pray constantly for my precious Molines. My heart is there with you, and I love you. Mom
