July 15, 2008 morning/ afternoon

I called the hospital twice this morning. Once at 6:00 am and talked to Brandon's night nurse and once at 8:45 am and talked to Mark, Brandon's day nurse. Both told me he was fine until they did his care each time and then he had desats. Incase I forgot to mention what a desat was in an earlier message it is when Brandon's oxygen level drops. Anything higher than 82 for oxygen is good. When it drops below that it is a desat. Once the nurses finished doing what they needed to with Brandon his oxygen went back up to where it should be each time. I am off to call the hospital to see if Brandon is getting fed today.

I just got back from the hospital. I was there from 12:15-2:45. The time really goes by so fast. I am not sure how since I just sit there staring at Brandon. Brandon had a pretty good afternoon. The only times he had desats were when he was touched. Other than that his levels were good. Brandon finally got to eat! He had 1 cc of milk when I was there. I got to help by holding up the end of the tube while the milk went in. Brandon now has a feeding tube through his nose. I also finally saw Brandon's eyes. He opened them a few times for a second when I was there.
