Oscar is sleeping soundly this morning. He was pretty tuckered out yesterday and slept lots. Yesterday evening he hung out with Nana while I went home to have dinner with Brian and Theodore and put Theodore to bed.
When I arrived at the hospital, Oscar was not a happy camper. He had himself so worked up that his heart rate was in the 190’s and respirations in the 50’s-60’s along with having a high temperature. I pumped and then held him which seemed to make a difference on calming him down and cooling him off.
He had his formula switched yesterday as well from Pregestimil to Elecare. We are hoping he can keep the Elecare down. Time will tell though and we should know by around 3pm if Elecare is digesting well.
Final things, Oscar had another Echocardiogram yesterday. We hope to hear if there are any changes today. He also had a respiratory pathogen panel to check for viruses and it came back negative. Our big adventure today will be an EEG to make sure Oscar has no seizure activity. We are checking because it is thought that if he is having seizure activity it could be affecting his heart rate and O2 levels, so we will see.

Praises:
- Oscar rested pretty well through the night for being more alert and realizing he had a tube down his throat.

Prayer Request:
- Oscar will tolerate this new formula and keep it down to prevent having to put in an IV and run fluids.
- Wisdom for Brian and I on what to do with his intubation in the next few days...extubate or trach surgery
- Oscar will have another restful day and keep getting stronger and bigger.
