Three Spells

When I phoned this morning to see how things are going, I found out she was back on CPAP because she had 3 spells (a spell is when she stops breathing and her heart rate drops. Usually, a pat/rub on the back is all that is needed to get them to breath again). They figured she was getting too tired.

Tonight she is still on CPAP because she had another spell. Anyway, they are now suspecting she may have an infection and have put her on antibiotics. With preemies, they start treating suspected infections before waiting for confirmation from blood cultures, which can take a few days. I guess we will see how she does tonight whether or not they will try nasal prongs again tomorrow.
