JANUARY 24TH: Well, today was supposed to be the day. They were going to try and pull the breathing tube out, but yesterday he got a fever. They did a bunch of tests to check for infection, and found some gram positive cocci in his lungs (possibly caused by his tube) bacteria and started him on antibiotics. They did an ERT this morning, and he failed because at 6 cm of water pressure oxygenation, he had some slight desaturation and lokked like his work of breathing was excessive. I'm mentally exhausted and just want to hold my baby, hear his voice (even if it's a cry), and see his smile with his new teeth.
