1st Infection

Saturday the 23rd and Sunday the 24th Dyland started showing signs of his first infection. He was quite a bit less active and he wasn't going potty as much as before. This was a sign his kidneys may be starting to shut down. This is the scariest thing we have gone thru. The blood culture is showing it may be a Staph infection and this is affecting his lungs as well. They had do go up on his vent settings which until this point were very low. They started him on medicine and dopamine to try and get him going potty. Monday the 25th we had a scarey situation with Dylans nurse. But despite the signs of infection we decided to Kangaroo with Dylan again. I was nervous but they thought it would be good for Dylan. We got all situated and about 90 min into Kangarooing he was destating. His oxygen would drop and it heart rate would too. Dr came in and tried to comfort me but the doctor was thinking that something with his vent tube was mechanically wrong. They had to stop the vent and bag him for 15-20 min on me. I was so nervous but trying to be calm for Dylan so he would feel my tension. It knew that he was going to be okay but I was scared. The doctor decided despite the bagging they would put him back into his own bed. During this and after they could look at him better in his own bed they figured out his vent tube had been repositioned. The fixed this and his heart rate and breathing came right back up on their own. I just knew though that Dylan didn't feel good. He was not as active on me and he was not looking around much at all. This was the beginning of a scarey couple of days.
