Dr Egner has happy with Corgan this morning...no changes were made...I did kmc for a little while but had to stop because Corgan started desaturating a bit and had an episode of apnea...he desatutated a lot during the day...it was discovered that Corgan has a chest infection...he is on antibiotics... the nurse suctioned Corgan and his nose bled during it... Later, Corgan desaturated the most we had ever seen before change over...he went completely blue...he seemed to have settled when we went back in after change over...Gervais took over from the day nurse and then Corgan had an extended episode of apnea from which he didnt recover... All Corgan's readings dropped to zero...when I saw the monitor that reads his heart rate dropping and oxygen in his blood reading get to 10 (its usually near 100) I just got up and walked out...it was as though I saw the life draining out of him...it felt as though it was draining out of me too...my heart sank...my stomach knotted...Shane stayed behind for as long as he could before the staff told him to leave...We didn't know what to expect at this point...we could see the nurses rushing around frantically with different equipment...I thought that was it...I thought tonight was the night we have been dreading...Then Doctor Egner rushed in past us...Corgan was resussitated... and he was stablised again... Doctor Egner gave Corgan something to stimulate his heart... He also put him on Sabax Neonatalyte with Glucose (Viaflex)... Corgan was much weakened by now and Doctor Egner suggested that Corgan might need to be returned to the ventilator tonight...he waited around for about half an hour to see what Corgan was going to do but he was okay...After he left Corgan battled on for another 20 minutes or so before Doctor Egner had to be called back to re-intubate Corgan... It was a very distressing evening, the most so far... Corgan was fine back on the ventilator and slept peacefully... his feed was stopped for the rest of the night too...he left the hospital very late...
