Logan made it with the lowering of his oxygen level last night. I was worried that they had to increase it back to 2 L just like last week. But when Hank and I arrived at the hospital this morning, it was still at 1 L and 25%. That's great news! He was between 25-30% yesterday, much improved!
There were a couple minor scary episodes today when the monitor showed that his oxygen level was down to the 60s and 70s. I was frustrated as he was making such good progress, and then it dipped back down 2-3 times within an hour while we were with him. The nurse assured us that his face wasn't as dusky-looking, which was good. However, he was doing so well the last couple days that I was a little upset.
Then after I got back from pumping, Hank and the nurse showed me the HUGE booger that they sucked out of Logan's nose. No wonder he couldn't breathe! Once they suck that booger out, his oxygen level went back up to 98%-100%. If his level continues to stay up for the rest of the day without any major desats, then it's the booger!! This also means that we need to make sure his nose is clear at all times, and to make sure he doesn't get a cold. A minor issue to us, could be major to him.
