Early this morning Terri Called Rhoda, Matthew�s nurse, to see how he faired overnight. Rhoda said that Matthew had been put back on CPAP due to his Co2 levels rising. We were so disappointed. After going to the gym I walked in to the CVICU to sit with Matthew while Terri put her makeup on at the RV. When Connie, one of Matthew�s Respiratory Therapists saw me she smiled and said he was doing good. I lamented about the CPAP and she told me he had already been put back on Vapotherm. Apparently the rise in his carbon dioxide was caused by his electrolytes being out of balance. The diuretics caused him to urinate a lot which flushed out his electrolytes. This fact, not his breathing, caused his body to hold on to Co2. I may sound like an expert but I�m merely a parrot repeating what I�ve heard. So Matthew spent the day on Vapotherm and was very content. In fact the only time he woke up today was to flirt with and smile at Raji, one of his primary nurses. She wears a red shirt every week to lure his attention away from Mommy. Kniki will be his nurse tomorrow so she and Auntie Kim will be competing for his undivided attention.
