So although this is my first entry, much has happened since the birth of Seth. I'll give the back story later.
Tonight I went in and in the past 36 hours he's gone from being in pretty good shape to being pretty sick. He was on nasal canula. Then he started desatting and so they switched him back to the vapotherm. That wasn't effective enough. So they put him on the c-pap. That lasted for a few hours, but then that wasn't strong enough so yesterday they intubated him. Then that wasn't enough so they put him on the oscilator. Even that is still not getting his oxygen saturation levels high enough. They've added a NO2 gas, put him on dopamine, and the funniest thing of all, he's on Viagra.
He had a bunch of tests run and he's got an infection of some sort in his lungs. Along with the fact that they're never really fully developed anyway.
He's not doing well. It could come cut either way--he could rebound and be just fine, or continue to digress. So it's a wait and see how effective the treatments are.
