Recovery

So its been 3 days since Kai had his eye surgery and it seems like he's almost back on track.

He's on CPAP,but sprinting on canula has been put on hold while his lungs recovery from being intubated. He's still at 21% FiO2 (which is lowest setting to be on) but they went up on his PEEP today which is the pressure. He went from 5 to 6 so hopefully it helps him recover sooner so he can start back up on the canula again and start bottle feeds!

They also took an xray of his lungs today and it looks great and blood tests show no sign of infection. They'll take another blood sample though just to make sure he isn't getting sick in a few days.

He's still getting lots of eye drops and should probably have his eyes checked again next week.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the surgery worked for his eyes and that his lungs heal!
