Day 112 - New Big Boy Crib
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2021 James was upgraded to a Big Boy Crib from an isolette (open neonatal incubator). Right before the change we gave him a bath. Basically that consisted of just wiping him down with a wet washcloth. He did tummy time on his boppy. At first he wasn't sure if he liked it and then he slept on his arm for about 3.5 hours. 12am update: James had an episode from about 12am to 1:30am. Cause: Possibly dirty diaper and he had been sitting up all day, so he needed a position change. Resolution: Changing to a clean diaper, changing position to a tight swaddle with arms tucked and laying him on his side. Also the wet wash cloth on his head helped a little for a brief moment. Also increasing his PEEP to 14 while having an episode immediately calmed him but he kept retracting heavily. 🤷 2:30am - Might as well pump now! 3:30am-4am update: James had a pretty bad BPD episode. Cause: Dirty diaper? Resolution: Increasing PEEP to 14 4am: Trach care 4:30am...
