Ten Weeks Old

Archer has seemed to recover since yesterday's spells of apnea. He only stopped breathing once in the last 24 hours. The blood culture test came back negative for infection and Mom and Dad are still waiting on the urine test results. He is still receiving antibiotics and further tests will help determine how long to keep him on these.
Archer is no longer receiving the chest treatments (CPT). His schedule of receiving inhaled steroids and breathing treatments has moved back from every 4 hours to every 6 hours.
Dad kangarooed with Archer today. It took a little while for him to get settled in and to figure out that his breathing was better with his legs stretched out, and not up to his stomach. Archer has really taken to using a pacifier. Mom, Dad, and the nurses often have to hold it for him for a half hour or so to get him to fall asleep after his assessments every 4 hours.
