November 24th 2016 the rest of the day

Well.

Before the eye exam the doctor was saying RT was doing so well respiratory wise that he may not technically be considered critical! 

Eye exam results were unfortunate. But we are grateful that it was caught,  and there is something that can help. 

RT dealt with today almost as if nothing happened. 

We have been warned in the past that sometimes after eye exams babies will refuse to open their eyes for a day or even a few. 

Within an hour of his eye exam and injection he was opening his eyes again. 
His right one was puffy and didn’t want to open but he still managed to squint.

He even gave us a few smiles today.

I feel like he knows he is loved and that everything done to him is to make him better. He gets mad in the moment as he should but forgives us quickly.

Absolutely amazing. 

Stable day, a nurse that has not had RT turned up oxygen once because his nasal prongs were coming out of his nose, not because he was having an event. He just needs some extra oxygen. 

There is so very much to be grateful for, even in a situation like ours.

We will see what tomorrow holds. 

Just keep swimming.
