Santino is breathing on his own!


We haven't had too much excitement the last couple of days. Which is a good thing! Monday's scare was enough to last awhile. Good news though , Santino is off the nasal cannula and is breathing well on his own. He only has the ng tube in his lil nose (that is how they feed him). He also has a IV in his scalp but no breathing tubes, yeah! We can see more of his cute face now and are able to kiss his cute lil lips.

Tomorrow he is scheduled for a VCUG by urology. With this test they put a dye in thru his urinary catheter and is shot up to his bladder/kidneys. Images will then be taken to see where the dye travels to. I know w/ Anthony this test was done to see if he had reflux from his bladder to his kidneys. Anthony did not like these tests (he had 2 as a baby). I hope lil Tino is cooperative and doesn't get himself all worked up.

That's all that is happening so far. His PD is going well. There is no leakage at the site. The draining of fluid is going as planned. He seems to be tolerating this form of dialysis much better than Hemo. I like to see my baby content. He has been sleeping very well the last couple of days. He slept thru our visit today. I'm hoping tomorrow we get to see him awake for a bit.

We shall see.

The picture above was from yesterday. So cute sucking on his pacifier!
