14 days old--2 weeks!
Ryan had a good day yesterday. They were able to go down on the ventilator rate setting to 45. He ranged in his oxygen needs from 30-45%. Both of his eyes are open now! He tolerated his handling time very well without any drops in his heart rate.
This morning the nurse said Ryan had a good night. She said he had only one episode where his heart rate dropped and needed some assistance. They went down on the ventilator rate setting to 42 this morning. He graduated out of the humidified tent, and now he is just lying in the warmer. Our next step will be into an incubator/isolette. We don't know when this will happen, but they have told us it is a very good thing to graduate into an isolette.
Kenzie's mom might get to leave the ICU today, but she still has a very long recovery time in the hospital. Kenzie has been doing well. They have been riding the roller coaster with her care needs over the past week also.
