Oh What A Night!
My feed was increased to 9 ml per hour - continuous feed...I don't need physiotherapy anymore :) I sucked my dummy properly for the first time...Mommy and I did a lot of KMC today...I started feeling a bit distressed during the night...I kept desaturating...my oxygen was put back up to 30%...I was suctioned a few times but it didn't help much...Dr Egner was phoned and he ordered chest x-rays to be done...the x-ray department still hadn't arrived after 45 minutes and by that time Dr Egner had decided to come out and check on me...he discovered that my one nostril had blocked - possibly from drying out from the oxygen from the nasal prongs....he managed to unblock my nostril and I was immediately fine again...my oxygen was turned down to 21% and the x-rays were cancelled!
