Oscar continued to have bradycardia throughout the day yesterday. When his night nurse came on I mentioned it just was not normal what he was doing. She let the doctor know and around 9pm he was non emergency reintubated.
Putting the tube back in is definitely a step backwards, but one that Brian and I are okay with because it is what Oscar needs right now.

Praises:
- The intubation went much easier than anyone expected. Oscar’s color immediately changed upon placement of the tube and his breathing was so much less labored. He has been sleeping comfortably since intubation.
- The Doctor respected what I said even if she didn’t agree. Due to Oscar’s sudden change in his stats (heart rate and O2) the last 24-36 hours she ordered a CVC panel to rule out infection for a cause.
- Feeling the Lord’s wisdom, presence, and love through others.

Prayer Request:
- Oscar would rest well on the ventilator .
- The CVC panel to rule out infection would present answers if needed.
- We would determine if Oscar has a type of Galactosemia. This would be causing issues with liver and kidneys. They put Oscar on a lactose free formula to see if that will help.

Thank you for your prayers for Oscar and our family. We could not be doing this without you. #TeamOscar #OscarStrong
