Kaidyn is doing about the same. Her respiration continues to be over 70. They performed a heart ECO on her yesterday to see if there was an issue in her right ventricle causing her respiration to be high, and determined that she has two small holes in her heart; one between her atriums and one between her ventricles. Neither hole is concerning and both should close on their own. They did not find and issue that could be causing her to breath so rapidly. The current diagnosis is...her lungs are now in a chronic diseased state, she has bronchopulmanary dsyplasia (BPD), which will cause her to breathe fast. To that add getting fed a high amount of volume. This excess fluid leaks into the lungs causing them to work harder leading to faster respiration. So at this point they have lowered the amount of milk she gets and increased her diuretic hoping that with less fluid it will be easier for her to breathe. We are now in a waiting game. She no longer gets bottles at every feeding due to her high respiration so she will have to start that over again (she's beginning to get lazy with her bottle) and she is still up on the liters of oxygen she is getting so she is being weaned from that again. Not sure how much longer we have, really just depends on her and which way her breathing goes. Because of her BPD she will be coming home on oxygen so we have to get her to that state but right now her respiration is too high to talk about going home. Continue to pray for Kaidyn for lung strength, brain strength, bone strength, stomach strength, and growth strength. Pray specifically she definitely needs these things in particular.
Praying specifically for all these things. Stay strong Kaidyn and LaRhesa!

Psalms 40:1-4 I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

I Peter 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Hebrews 4:14-16 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

ReplyDeleteHebrews 6:17-20 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
