Dylan has had a hard past couple of days. Poor little guy hates that vent tube and decided to pull it out again yesterday. So they had to put it back in but got it in wrong the first time so they had to pull that one out and put another new one in. This tube is bigger so this will help him not have so many air leakes. The issue with the air leak and the small tube was that as fast as the air was going in it was leaking out because the tube was so small. So they put Dylan back on the high frequency vent to let his lungs not be so collapsed. Well also the poor little guy is now showing signs of another infection. They are concerned with his tummy, they have done several x-rays and so far it is looking okay but when they touch it Dylan just cries and cries. It is a little puffy and red, he had a large stool today with a few signs of blood flecs in it. This is concerning but they are just watching him very closely. They have now stopped his feedings for the mean time and started him back on a full course of antibiotics. This will help what ever type of infection is going on in him. They did a blood culture which unfortunately will not show anything for at least 72 hours. Being the fighter Dylan is, he will get thru this. This is just one of those steps back for now. He is not giving up and we know that his big brother Dalton in heaven is protecting him and giving him the strength he needs so he can get better and come home with his mommy and daddy. These are scarey times again but we will get thru it, we still are holding onto the optimistic feeling of hope we have. This is how we are getting thru these hard days. Our baby is daddys little superman. We love you Dylan and are praying for you day any night little man.
