Today when I got to the NICU Bridger was wearing a new pair of glasses! He looks pretty funny with them on. He had a good day with no chest tube in. We think we have seen the last of that. He had a few bad labs but nothing to serious. They have started him on a few new meds and extended the duration of antibiotics he is being given for the pneumonia. They are suctioning his lungs out every hour and I was shocked to see how much gunk they can get out of such a little thing. He got a little feisty while I was there today. I think it is crazy that he has the instinct to pull on the vent tube. Every time I would let go of his hands he would go straight for it...even though he is sedated. The nurse upped his sedation so he would settle down and leave everything where it was suppose to be!
Sometime late tonight they will be doing an Echo of his Heart. He might have something going on there. Tomorrow we should know more. He is such a sweet little man and feisty or not I loved seeing him moving around today!
