Good Vibrations!!!

Now that's what I'm talking about! I've got some good vibrations going on:) It's Sunday evening and I'm sitting here in my little vibrating chair hanging out with mommy and daddy. Soon, my Nurse Julie (I've never had her before) is going to weigh me, and measure all my body parts. I really hope I'm taller than 16 inches this week.

I got a new sign on the outside of my room door. It says,....are you ready for this??? It says, "Today is the day, Zander weighs 5 lbs on 06-25-2006!" I made it, I'm 5 whole pounds:) Not that it really matter in the whole scheme of things, but I made a goal and I stuck with it until I succeeded.

Also, I have other good news today as well. On Saturday I was allowed to stay on the Nasal Canula for 8 hours out of each 12 hour shift. Then this morning, the nurses was discussing what orders they thought my doctor #2 would write, but he surprised them all when he wrote an order stating that I am to remain on Nasal Canula as long as I can. Do you know what that means???????? It means no more yucky CPAP in my nose!!! AND, it also means I'm doing really really good.

Now, I have to warn you...I may need that CPAP thing back because I sometimes poop myself out. So far I'm doing good, but I just wanted to forewarn everyone. I'll find out in the morning when they do all my lab work and take an x-ray. All the nurses are holding their breath to see what my blood gas will be. That's the lab that measures the amount of CO2 in my lungs. If that's high then I may be put back on the CPAP, if it's low....I'm pretty sure my doctor will hug me. :) To tell you the truth, I think this vibrating chair helps me because it's kind of like a CPAP only it doesn't have to go in my nose. It definately keeps my lungs vibrating though:):) At least this thing is comfy.


Stay tuned for my newest statistics!!!
