More CPAP Progress

Snuck in to my lil turds room and snapped a quick pic of him sleeping with his mask on again the other day. Pretty good for his first week!

Today Shaunee, the respiratory therapist came over to check up on our progress. I had scheduled her to come at 1 pm so that by then Hunter would be good and ready for a nap. He wore his mask without a fuss and we took him upstairs to his room where we hooked him up and turned the machine on. I held him until he fell asleep. No fussing, No crying. Just calm, peaceful sleep! AVEC OXYGEN SIL VOUS PLAIS!

CPAP progress!

This is a crummy picture because I took it with my phone but here is my boy, passed out dead to the world, having the best nap ever after calmly and patiently allowing me and the respiratory therapists to put his CPAP mask on him. We turned it on to see how he would do with the air. And just like that, one minute I'm holding him in my arms rocking him and the next... he just laid in my arms, relaxed and fell asleep. Right there in the living room in front of the three ladies (1 Resp, therapist, and 2 RN's) Zonked right out! We put him in the play pen and let him sleep for 2 hours. Daddy put him to bed with the machine and the mask on tonight and I haven't had a status update as of yet but I'm hoping it's still on when I get home! Sweet little guy, he needs all the rest and relaxation he can get, and oxygen WHILE he's doing it! I loves him!

Chomping bean!

Lil Baby Bitee Bean!



THE BEAN HAS A TOOTH!!!



It was coming through while Nana was here and that was when we first discovered it pushing through his lil gums, but it has finally arrived.



I would love to preserve this moment by taking a picture of the tiny lil beast peeking its sharp lil head out, but alas and alack, it is such a tiny lil tooth and good luck getting the Teeny Beany to sit through a picture of the inside of his mouth!





Another update of the Bean.



This Tuesday we have an Eye Appointment and the Alberta Children's Hospital. We have been waiting a few months to get him in to see (ha ha) the Eye Doc. He has a tendency to be a lil cross eyed at times and it seems that his left eye tends to be a lil more crossed than the right. I'm hoping that the Eye Doc can help us out with this. I know that if he needs lil tiny glasses he will be THE most awesomely cute child ever! I think that would just be fantastic. I don't WANT him to have glasses. I would rather his eye sight be prefect, but if he needs glasses I wont complain.



Then we have an over night sleep study at the Children's in March. We get to spend the night in the hospital, Bean with hoses and machines hooked all up to him, recording his oxygen levels. I'm not really looking forward to sleeping in the hospital but it's for the best. This way we will get a better idea as to Beanies needs and how best to cope with his sleep apnea.

The sleep apnea is becoming a bit of a pain for him I think. Poor lil guy has been waking up alot lately. I think part of that had to do with the tooth coming through and a slight cold that he had which was making him all stuffed up and runny nosed. The cold has cleared and the tooth has surfaced and he is not waking up every two hours any more but I can tell he is still having issues with the apnea. I wish I could make it better. It's so nerve racking to know you lil boy stops breathing in the middle of the night.

Hopefully we will get him to cooperate with the CPAP machine here soon and he can start wearing it at night. That would make me alot happier.

I will update soon about the eye Doc appointment.
