July 29, 2008 afternoon

Brandon had a good afternoon when I was visiting today. His vent rate was lowered to 35 and he was on 24% oxygen. He was turned down to 21% which is room air for a little while when we were kangarooing. I kangarooed with Brandon for almost 1 1/2 hours and then had to put him back because another baby was being admitted and they would be x-raying the other baby. They did not want Brandon out when they were using the x-ray machine. Sue called out sick for tonight. I am really upset that she will not be with Brandon. She will be back sometime next week. I think on Tuesday. Dr. Alemany came over to talk to me when I was at the hospital. He said he will probably take Brandon off of the vent either tomorrow or Thursday since he is doing so well and try the CPAP again.
