33 days old- back on vent

Things change very fast and quite often in preemie world. It's been just over a month and I don't think its anything we will ever get used to.

Chance was really having a tough time breathing late last night. So, he's back on the vent. It's not that surprising to us, we were told there was a 50/50 chance he'd have to go back on. He made it a couple days but just tuckered out.

They took a urine sample and blood sample to check for an infection. They went ahead and started him on antibiotics to stay on top of the game. The preliminary culture takes 24 hours to get a result but can take as long as 48 hours for something to show up. He may need another blood transfusion today as well. I guess babies start making a good amount of blood supply at 3 months and they may be taking his blood for samples and tests faster than he can make it.

He's up to 2 lbs 3.3 oz today!

Continued prayers for our little guy!

Heart is heavy today.
