1 step forward 2 back

but not all bad...

Lewis took really unwell the other night, was absolutely red hot, crying his eyes out, his heartrate was shooting away up and his resp thing was alarming (scary stuff) but his nurse said it was just wind, i knew it wasn't no wind, so anyway 18 effin hours later we were told he might have a wee bug or something, so they started him on antibiotics for now till they collect his samples and bloods and get them off the lab..anyway long story short, he has an infection, just so mad that 18 hours of precious time got wasted when he could have been started on antibiotics n things then, but cos of 1 nurse sayin it was wind he waitid them 18 hours while it really took hold. but yesterday and today he's looking much brighter and is more alert and more like his usual nosy self, still on the antibiotics though and last night and today pulled out his canula, if it's not canulas it's nasal prongs and NG tube, he's a little monkey.

The blender is now at a flow of 2.5 with 21% oxygen and were told when it got to a flow of 2 he could go onto the low flow, so it goes down in increments of .5 which means.... 1 more turn down on it and it'l be at 2 yippee.

He's on feeds every 2 hours of 50mils, they're changing it maybe tomorrow to every 3 hours with probably about 75 mils, but last night and today he has had LOTS of reflux, i must have brought back about 10 babygrows that are dirty just from last night cos of it, not sure what the deal will be with that at the minute.
I've also started doing his tube feeds now which is good cos it's somethin else i can do for him, inbetween trying him on the bottle etc, and good news is hopefully he can have a proper bath soon, he smells of that awful smelling carobel 'milk' stuff he gets.

that's about it for now lol.
