Day 119 - 2565g, CPAP, Pneumonia

Hao, you have weight drop today. It is 95g decreased in 2 days time. We were very worry.

You have a lot of secretion which we believe is due to the pneumonia. The good sign is your oxygen setting is lowering down as we believe you are recovering.

You will encounter apnea during suction procedure. And this phenomenon occurs very often since you caught in pneumonia. 

You were staring at your mom while she was soothing you. Your big eyes are shinning and dark. You utter voices like talking to her.  

You are strong fighter. You inspired me. You make me stronger and a better person.

The colorful world is waiting for you out there. Get well soon and go see the world.

God's bless.

Day 117 - 2640g, CPAP, Blood transfusion

Boy, you are sick now.

You have several apnea incidents yesterday and in the midnight you were put up with CPAP.

Your left lung were detected with milk that cause by reflux on 21-sep. It is recovered as per today X-ray. But now your right lung is detected with milk.

You are also having blood transfusion. This is because of the drop of your hemoglobin in your blood.

The doctor has also change the antibiotic that covers wider range of infections. I guess they have no clue on what makes your situation deteriorate yet.

Stay strong boy and we will pray for God's mercy on your recovery.

Day 115 - 2580g, pneumonia, reflux

Boy, you are suffering from pneumonia. It is due to the back flow of the milk from your stomach to your throat, and then the milk was sucked into your air way. 

We believe this is due to the carelessness of the NICU. Your mom spent 9 hours at hospital yesterday. I can see she is very worry about you.

You are on antibiotic and the setting of oxygen air blender is high. Flow at 3.0 and oxygen at 40%.

Doctor has reduced your milk feeding to 50ml maximum per serving. Boy, drink slow. Drinking too fast will cause air captured in stomach and back flow of the milk from stomach to throat.

Please pray that you will get over the pneumonia soonest and get healthy.

God's bless!
