8 pm: Caleb is still doing well. He was having a hard time fully expanding his lungs still bc he still has old secretions in his lungs from his pulmonary hemorrhage. Because his sats kept dropping today they decided to put him on the cpap. He still breathes on his own but the cpap gives a continuous positive pressure flow of oxygen and it Just helps to get him to fully expand his lungs. This isn't a step backwards, he just needed a little more help. They are still doing breat...hing treatments and also were going to do another treatment to help relieve any inflammation around his vocal cords that could also be contributing to him having to work so hard to breathe since he had some sounds thy could hear in his throat that would indicate that.
He was still having some issues with fully digesting his feedings but it was slowly getting better.
We have a conference with all of the doctors tomorrow to kind of go over everything and discuss the next steps. Will update more then.
Thank you all so much for the continued prayers and support. We are so blessed!
