{DAY4}

Day Four:
Day Four began with Dean and I coming early from being home sleeping to find they they indeed had to put our sweet baby on the C Pap machine. As you will see in the pictures below, its the saddest things EVER!! She HATES it... they kept telling us over and over how feisty she is and she kept swatting her hands trying to pull it out of her nose. She did ok on the C Pap machine for a bit but as they day went on they started to talk about putting her on a breathing tube. What a scary though. Well they finally decided she was working way to hard and got everything prepped for the feeding tube.. I left the unit because i couldn't watch and went to inform our family and friends. I returned back to find that they hadn't done it. I guess one doc wanted to and one doc didn't. So it was a battle.. they sent off for more testing. Gas tests to check the CO2 in her blood. First one came back great, so they did one every hour to try to see how it was, it never went back the other way towards bad, so luckily they didn't have to do a tube.. however they would keep us wondering for the next day or so cause they still weren't positive that she wouldn't need one. She had a rough day on the C Pap and hated it so much, so hard to see. That evening we were lucky enough to have my Grandpa and Grandma Walton to visit and Grandpa offered to give her a blessing. We figured it couldn't hurt so we did. It actually did make me feel alot better, anything at this point helps. We then left again to go home and sleep and hoped for the best...
