July 20, 2012 ....New Location, Same Worries

DISCHARGED! Time to rush to my baby boy.  When I got to the hospital, Alexander was on a CPAP machine.  Think of it this way,  A CPAP masks is like when you stick your head out the window and you feel all of that wind in your face.  It is a ton of oxygen all at once but it was much needed for my little fighter. He needed to clear out his lungs as fast as possible and this was the way to do it.  I refused to have any pictures of him taken with that mask on.  I don't want those to be the memories he has.  I only get pictures when he is comfortable and without a lot of stuff on him.  So the were on the CPAP machine for awhile.  He would make some great strides then we would get a set back. Then make more strides then more set backs.  You learn fast to be cautiously optimistic. By the end of the day, all of his levels were looking good and he was using less oxygen then he ever has. Things were starting to look up.......

They let me take off his CPAP mask to get a quick picture.
