He is on 2 meds for the reflux and is doing better. Mostly the apnea spells are when eating. He did it all the time when they were doing bottle feedings.. he would just suck and forget to breath. He is doing much better on nursing.. the monitor has only gone off 3 times since I brought him home Monday and he recovers quick so that is a good sign they said.
Last Thursday he got to come home on bili lights but was admitted again on friday because of the high bili and apnea. I got to bring him home again Monday but on Tues his count had still gone up yet again. We have a great doc who said as long as I kept him on the bili lights I could keep him and take him to the husbands family for Christmas but as of today his count is still not low enough to go off the lights and if it goes back up again tomorrow they will consider readmitting him. Very frusterating!
And yep the heel pricks sure break your heart he doesn't basically have a spot left to prick. Between that and the tube that was shoved down his nose and throat along w/ iv's I am just heartbroken.
But at least he is alive and we have great technology to allow him to still be here. Turning blue was not fun!
