Waiting to exhale

Day 26

Today has not been a good day and Mom and Dad are really nervous.  I have had several episodes where the nurses have had to stimulate me to breathe and bring my heart rate back up.  The doctor ordered the pressure on the Bubble CPAP back up to 6.  I only lasted two and a half days with it at 5.  My nasal canula was so crooked that my whole nose was pulled over to the left side of my face.  They have started to give me vitamins which taste yukky.  I spit the iron back up.  Mom only held me for 15 minutes because my oxygen saturation kept dropping really low.  I tried showing them my muscles to prove how strong I am, but Mom and Dad are still very worried.
