BPD Clinic

Well we just got back from out Dr.s apt at Vandy and not alot of changes but we are def in the right direction. Dr. Austin said his lungs sound awesome and no noises that shouldn't be there and that he is passing good breathe sounds. While we were there, they let him have a room air trial so that they could see how well he holds his sats up. Well of course Landon showed off and stayed at 100 the whole time. You would think that would be conviencing enough to say that Landon is good to come off of it, but they they had to throw something new in as to why he doesnt. Which by what I gathered today he had this PDA and hypertension in his heart when we were in Vandy last but it was all new news to me today. Needless to say that didnt set well with me. So for the time being Landon is allowed to go during the day without his O2 but will still need it at night and on March 6th we will be going back to Vandy to meet with the lung dr.s again and at this time they will also be doing a Echo of his heart to see if the PDA and hypertension is still there. Dr. Austin did say that if the Echo showed PDA then we would have to then talk about what needed to be done from there. He mentioned that it didnt mean surgery but that it would be a possibility. So now we are enjoying our free time during the day and will continue to listen to that soothing sound of the oxygen concentrator at night. We also were up 10oz today so that now makes up 13lbs 14oz! Landon is becoming a chunker and I love it!
