day/night in an afternoon
Saturday, December 2nd, 2006yesterday held many surprises for the peterberrys, early talks of getting nolan off of the ventilator and onto a less damaging to the lungs cpap turned into an evening of increased ventilator support and one very upset preemie. night and morphine offered rest and stillness for nolan and his whole episode provided a few steps back (but not too many!) in getting nolan off the vent. today he has had stillness and agitation, but seems to be doing okay overall. he is gaining weight, up to 1417 grams, 3#, 1.2oz and his color looks great. nervousness on our part but thankfulness too. even conversations of getting him off the vent are encouraging. more news later.
