Corgan was doing well still when we arrived at the hospital. Doctor Egner extubated Corgan this morning just before 9 o'clock. He was on CPAP again...Shane came down from Kloof to see Corgan...He was very active and doing well. When we got back to the hospital in the evening the nurse said Corgan had been doing very well. He looked very calm and seemed to be having a good sleep. Not long afterwards he awoke and became quite restless. At times he waved his legs about frantically and then he started battling...he went pale, bluish a few times...the nurse had to help him breathe a few times and he desaturated...the physiotherapists arrived and went to wait in the parents lounge...The nurse felt that Corgan needed to be suctioned and that this should help, Corgan seems to hate being suctioned...Earlier in the day the nurse had replaced his Resp sensor in the hope that his reading on the monitor would be more accurate, but they still seemed off - often the machine diaplayed an Apnoea message when he was actually breathing. We sat outside anxiously. Corgan was back to his usual self when we went back into his ward....
