Ups and Downs

So, a few days ago, Hunter was doing good and they took out his PIC line, his feedings were at 35 cc's (30 cc's is an ounce), but still through a tube, and his oxygen was down to 21%. I bathed him for the first time and then left at 10pm. Then starting at midnight, he started having "episodes" where his heartrate and oxygen dropped 7 different times throughout the night. His heartrate should be at 180, his was dropping to 60. His oxygen needs to be at 80, it was dropping to 40. So, the had to prick him for blood to do labs and start IV's again. SO SAD!!!! They had just taken everything out, and then he had to be pricked lots all over again! Anyways, he has had an infection and they started antibiotics. They had to take him off his feedings and up the oxygen. He also lost a little weight. Really sad, we were bummed that he was going to have to start over again. However, he has rallied!! :) It only took him a few days and he is doing much better! Here is the current update as of today (which many of you know, this could all change by the time you read it-for good or bad). While I was in with him today, his nurse switched him into an open crib!!!! Yesterday they turned off the heat in his incubator to see if he could keep himself warm, therefore not losing any weight. He is doing okay, so they moved him over and keep him bundled! He is also up to 30 cc's feeding and his oxygen is at 25%. He is up to 4 pounds 6 ounces!!!!!! He is now one of the bigger ones in the NICU! Who'd of thought that 4 pounds would be big?! He also has all of his IV's out again, so hopefully, no more pricks. They are trying to get him to take a bottle, but he seems to not want to work for his food! And really why would you if you can just lay there and have it without doing anything?! :) Anyways, I'm nervous though that if he doesn't want to work at a bottle, he'll never want to nurse since that's harder! :) We'll see... Anyways, so as of today, he's doing better!! Thanks again for all the sweet comments and prayers and calls and everything! It helps us so much!! Thanks!!!
