Corgan finally passed a few stools during the night and slept well. He was resting well and breathing strong when we arrived. Doctor Egner increased his feed to 9ml/hr and dropped his oxygen to 22%. Corgan will no longer be having physiotherapy. Samera was on duty...I did KMC for about 2 hours. Corgan had a great start to the evening, full of energy - possibly the most energetic we have seen him so far. He then became very sad and distressed later - probably the saddest we have ever seen him. Samera helped Corgan suck his dummy properly for the first time and he really liked it. When Gervais took over for night duty I did KMC for a while, but Corgan became quite tired and started desaturating and Gervais turned his oxygen up a bit and then a bit more and then to 30%! He became even worse and so KMC was stopped. Corgan got even worse...he was looking very weak and unhappy...Gervais suctioned him a few times but then had to call Doctor Egner. Dr Egner ordered x-rays to be taken - it took 45 minutes and a few urgent phone calls and yet the x-ray machine still didn't arrive. Dr Egner arrived and immediately found that it was Corgan's nose that was blocked...possibly due to drying from the nasal prongs - he cracked through the dry build-up and Corgan was fine straight away again! Dr Egner turned the oxygen down to 21%! and cancelled the x-rays...he also discovered Corgan had a hernia...We were very, very relieved after a terribly distressing night...We left the hospital at about 23h20...
