I wanted to prove to Daddy that my lungs do work!

(Video takes a second to load)

I had some bad seizures two nights ago and my breathing wasn't good. They did a chest X-ray yesterday morning and my right lung had partially collapsed again. They put me back on the Bpap machine continuously. Looks like I bought myself some more time in the ICU!

My lung quickly opened back up yesterday but they realized that they were moving too quick for me.

Since I behaved myself yesterday and last night, the plan for today is to give me an hour break from the Bpap machine every 3 hours. If I do well with it, they may change it to 2 hour break every two hours starting later today. They also changed my mask with one that won't hurt my nose so much.

Spa Day at PICU

Two weeks straight on the Bipap machine does its damage to a good hairdo!

I am finally getting breaks from the machine. They were going to start with  a few 1 hour breaks throughout the day but since I have been doing so well, it has now been off for over 8 hours! My nose is starting to feel better from where the machine really rubbed it dry.

So now I will just have to wear it at night time if my xray still looks good!

Mommy was so happy to see me without the bipap! Since Mommy is always sooooo concerned with my hygiene, she jumped at the chance to wash my hair. I keep reminding her I'm a little boy and supposed to be dirty but she won't have it.

I feel like a new man!

ND tube insertion was a piece of cake!

They lowered the settings on my bipap machine! They have been sticking this vacuum down my nose and into my lungs for 2 weeks now which is terrible!
Well, they must finally be sucking something up because it's making a lot of noises and these people start hootin and hollering like they caught a big fish.
My chest is feeling better and it's not so hard to breathe anymore. They are planning on sticking a feeding tube down my nose today so that they no longer have to feed me through the iv. They don't want to use my normal feeding tube in fears of aspiration since this bipap machine tends to cause that.
