When I called this morning, Lenwood's nurse told me that he had an eventful night. He was having bradys (heart rate drops) and d-sats (oxygen drops) during his feeding. They think he's just having to work too hard and have gone back to bottles at every other feeding.
When I arrived, I talked with the practitioner. They think that we just pushed him too hard, but if he keeps having bradys and d-sats they'll do a blood culture to check for infection.
I fed him a bottle at 12:40 and he had several d-sats and one brady.
This evening as I was holding him he kept dropping his oxygen. Typically it drops and comes back up, but it would drop and stay down. He had 9 bradys today. Typically he has one or two a day or every other day. This is out of character. I expressed my concern and after his continuous oxygen drops, the practitioner agreed to do the blood culture. I watched them draw blood from his hand and his heel. He let out one tiny, short whimper. That's not like him. Something is going on.
