I know today is usually Fx4 day, but with all these doctor’s appointments, I just don’t have the time to round up a photo or two. Lame, I know.
Plus – Logan’s update is more important 🙂
I ended up giving him the nebulizer treatment 4 times last night (every 3 hours!). Three out of the four times he didn’t even stir. The 4th time (5:30am), he popped his eyes open and stared at the mask for a long time. Then he reached out and grabbed my little bitty flashlight and was fine for the rest of the treatment. He even went back to sleep – for about 15 minutes. *sigh* Then he was up for the day. This seems awfully early when his usual wake-up time is 7:30!
One more treatment before we left for the doctor’s office, and we were on the road at 9am. (The appointment was at 10:00.) He fell to sleep in the car about 15 minutes away from the office, so a short little cat nap to energize him and make all the moms and teenagers in the waiting room ooh and aww over him. (Oh, and there was a twin mom in there who I TOTALLY stalked…I think she’ll be signing up for the twins club soon. LOL)
The doctor came in and checked the oxygen level (numbers are up) and his lungs (still gunky but better). I still need to give him the treatments every three hours, but I don’t have to wake up to do it over night any more. She said if Logan wakes up coughing or if I happen to wake up during the night to do one, but other than that – just during the day. And then by Sunday we should start weaning and shift to every 4 hours or so.
Yippie!! Both that Logans getting better and not worse, and that I don’t have to set the alarm to go off every three hours tonight! 🙂
