Coburn Kids

Caden is down to 2 lb. 4 oz. now (1030 grams).  They have stopped his feedings as he’s not tolerating them well i.e. he’s not digesting anything. They were only at 1cc every 4 hours and it was just sitting there in his tummy so they are going to give him a break tonight. His oxygen has been good though, in the 30′s, so weaning off the oscillator should happen soon.  Which leaves Daniel and I to once again wonder what the next step down will be if they can’t give him a CPAP. He has successfully weaned off his pulmonary hypertension and blood pressure medication (yeah)! All that’s left is his atavin (sedation), morphine drip (pain) and hydrocortisone (cortisol levels).
