Worn out

Joey did fine with his MRI yesterday. His temperature stayed where it needed to while he was gone. Also, he had an EEG where they put sticky things on his head, so he got his hair washed after that and his feeding tube put back in his nose. Somewhere along all that, he got a little chilly, but they covered him up with a heavy blanket and he warmed back up. Don't have any info on the MRI or the EEG yet, but Joey did have a nice long nap in the afternoon. Somewhere between 5:00 and 6:00 we got Joey all bundled up (burrito style) so I could hold him, but during the transfer, he got gunked up and needed suctioning. The nurse was only able to suction him twice before his sats and his heart rate were dropping into the 50s and she had to start bagging him to get oxygenated air into his lungs. We got him back in bed, the respiratory therapist came in and the doctor was called. The therapist was able to suction him out a bunch and his numbers came back up. All told it probably only took about 2 minutes, but to scared parents, it seemed much longer. We were definitely uncomfortable and we were pretty concerned we were going to lose him, but he seems to be OK now. I've called to check on him a bunch tonight and the respiratory therapist told me he did have one more episode this morning where his heart rate dropped, but she was able to suction him quickly and his sats didn't drop very much. After his episode yesterday, Joey really looked worn out. He had a really big day yesterday and he needed to rest. Hopefully we have a more uneventful day today. Everybody keep praying for our little Joey baby...he needs a miracle. Thanks.
