Proud Father
Very excited to see you up close.
We feel so lucky & blessed to be chosen to be your parents Grayson.
They started you on 4 Liters of oxygen and in the mid-afternoon you were taken down to 1 L of oxygen & then by that night you were breathing great on your own & didn't require any supplemental oxygen. All of the doctors & nurses were super impressed, they even coined you a "little rock star!" You were making me & daddy very proud.
This is the monitor in your room. It shows us your heart rate, respiration rate & pulse ox. Sometimes the alarms start ringing at us if things are not looking right, but that rarely happens & you usually correct any real problems quickly on your own.
Dr. Reinsvold briefly had to intubate you to suction a lot of gunk from your lungs & spray some surfactant way down deep.
Checking your Oxygen Saturation. We get to move this from your feet to your wrists with each changing!
15 long inches!
