Post Op

Corgan's eyes were still closed when we arrived this morning, he was still unsettled and Gervais said he had a tough night with him desatting a lot... He opened his eyes while Gervais was winding him during a feed, he looked at me with such sorrowful eyes...it broke my heart...I had to go out of the NICU...I had a good cry in the bathroom...Dr Egner took blood to check whether Corgan needed another blood transfusion or not... He was borderline so Dr Egner decided he didn't need one... Corgan's feed was changed to 20ml and his oxygen vlow decreased to just 1... He began desatting less and less... By the time I left at quiet time, Corgan's SpO2 was mainly between 98 and 100... Silindile looked after him today...she smsed me at about 14h20 to say that he was doing fine and the SATs were still between 98 and 100 and he only desatted once to about 82% - which is not a big deal...She smsed again at about 17h35 to say that at 15h50 the oxygen was removed and his SATs were on 99%!! When we got to the hospital this evening, Corgan was sleeping very peacefully...Gervais took over and Corgan was still asleep when we came back in after supper during changeover...
