We had a little set back last week. Last Tuesday we ended admitting TJ into the hospital due to respiratory problems. He was at Utah Valley for 4 days. At first they thought that he had RSV but that came back negative. So then they thought that he might have sleep apnea because his oxygen will be great in the high 90's then all of a sudden his oxygen level will drop into the 80's. So they ran some tests to see if he had apnea or not. That too, came back negative. So after 4 long days in a hospital room, the doctor finally said that he thinks that his central nervous system wasn't fully developed when he was born and that is why his oxygen will drop at times.
TJ is finally home but he is on oxygen. Also is on a machine that monitor his oxygen level and and an apnea monitor. Which is a pain in the butt but it's also way nice to know that his oxygen level is doing OK. So it has it's pros's and con's to it.
But today was his 2 week appointment and the doctor took him off the apnea monitor and also lowered his oxygen level. We will have a sleep test in 2 weeks to see if we can take him off the oxygen all together. He has learned how the pull the oxygen tube out of his nose. He hates it!! He gets mad sometimes when we try to put it back in. But other than that, TJ is doing great and is a little piggy. He is starting to stay awake more during the day. He is such a great baby.
TJ's 2 week check up. I can't believe he is getting so big.
Weighs 8lbs 25%tile
Measures 20 inches 18%tile
Head circumference 13.5 6%tile
TJ was hooked up to so many cords it was hard to hold him and love him but we still would.
Finally Home!!
