Day 29 - Quick Update - Back on the Vent

Anjie & I found out this morning that Levi is back on the vent. Like I said these babies often take steps backward after making progress. We of course are frustrated but we know that he will eventually get there. I don't remember either one of us specifically praying for patience but God must know that at least one of us needs it. He is really teaching us at this point.

Levi got irritable in the middle of the night. He was just getting tired I think. There is another form of mask that works with the vent. Its called non-invasive & they may try that again next. That is better as a transition because when he tires out they can provide him the help he needs. They couldn't get a seal when they tried it before but that's really what he needs. The CPAP can't give him help so there was no choice but to go back.

  1. Praying this will be a very short step backward for Levi and that the doctors can get a good seal on the non-invasive mask this time. It was a very positive step forward that he was able to be on the CPAP for almost a day! Hoping tomorrow will be a "step forward" day.
