Little Sophie is such a little trooper. When Sophie was born she was intubated. However, she only had that tube for about 1 day. Then, she was put on a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure). Lastly, she had the little air prongs. However, last Saturday things changed.
Saturday
It was around Saturday last week that we noticed something was different. When Sarah held her, the monitors beeped more than usual.
Sunday
On Sunday, I held her and the same thing happened. This was uncommon. The hospital staff was concerned. I believe it was then they put her back on the baby CPAP.
Monday
I started back to work and got a call from Sophie’s doctor. He explained that she would go from the CPAP to being intubated again like when she was first born. It was probable that she had an infection. So, they began giving her antibiotics.
Tuesday-Thursday
They confirmed that she had an infection. They continued to treat the infection. Just like bigger people, she did not feel like doing much when she was sick.
Friday
She was able to get back to the CPAP and eventually the little air prongs. Before her nurse put the prongs in, she took Sophia’s first picture without anything hooked up to her little face. She is still receiving antibiotics, but she is doing much better than several days ago.
