The last two days

Wyatt had a blood transfusion yesterday(10/10/11). He was anemic, not uncommon for premature babies since they have a harder time making more blood than term babies and they have their blood taken a lot to test for all kinds of things. The nurses reassured me that this was not an emergency procedure and that it should help his energy level as well as his coloring, etc. So that went well and he was doing well the rest of the day.
Today I called the NICU and the doctor had said that we could try to see if Wyatt could eat by himself with out the feeding tube. The feeding tube would remain in his nose, but if he ate 180mls in 12 hours or 4 feedings, they would take it out that night. We were stoked. I had thought that the blood transfusion would be a setback but this was looking good. Once the feeding tube is out it is only a matter of days till you get to got home...
Things looked good at his first two feedings, but his third he didn't take much so he needed a big feed at 4pm for us to make it. I was really hoping for it...a bit too much to be honest. But when I got there my perspective changed. He had two spells of reduced oxygen saturation in his blood while he was in deep sleep that day and the doctors were worried that it might mean he had a respiratory infection or pneumonia. The nurse had just finished taking blood work and had ordered a chest x-ray. He was on oxygen and was very tired from all the blood work. He ate a little but had to be fed the rest through the tube. The tests came back negative for infection but the x-ray was a bit hazy so the doctor ordered the tests to be taken again tomorrow morning. We are praying that everything is fine and that he is not sick but we are thankful that they are taking every precaution to keep him safe.
Sufficed to say he did not make is 180mls in 12 hours so the feeding tube is still in, but he did great at his 7pm and 10pm feedings so one never knows when he'll be strong enough to do it all on his own. We are praying for patience and trust in the Lord for His timing to bring Wyatt home, not ours.
I'll let you know if anything changes. Thank you all so much for your prayers and support in this hard time for our family. We have been so blessed by all of your care for us. God bless you too!
