Coburn Kids

Caden’s oxygen levels have been in the 20′s and 30′s, excellent news. They tried lowering his nitrix oxide last night, and he was doing good on that, then he started having an 18 point discrepancy in his oxygen levels on his foot and his hand. That was right after mommy and daddy left so we’ll attribute it to that. They had to bring him back up to the full amount. They are also starting to try to lower his morphine levels, since he’s dependent on that so it will be slow.

They tried starting feedings again, 3cc’s and he’s still not digesting everything. He did have a bowel movement though after a suppository so things are still moving through his system. Caden lost his lil’ roommates as well. He sits in the front of the NICU all by himself. It’s so much quieter! Less stressful, and it’s nice to be able to chat with his nurse for that night. Caden is still on a 1:1 ratio, meaning he has a dedicated nurse that only watches him. Until he comes off the nitric oxide and oscillator he’ll get that one-on-one care.

His weight is back up to 1060 grams, so about 2 lb. 6 oz. It’s official though, he’s got mommy’s feet. Those weird little toes and skinny long feet. Daniel and I have debates on whether he’s got brown or blonde hair. His skin is still pretty red and translucent so it’s hard to tell.
