Caden has been slowly improving since the New Year’ Eve emergency room visit. He’s been going all day without using any oxygen during wake hours for nearly two weeks. However he still needs oxygen while sleeping to keep his SATs in the 90s. He is tugging at both ears and they are both draining via the tubes even though he in on an antibiotic that is supposed to target ear infections. He has popped a little fever three nights in row so it is time to go after a different antibiotic to treat the ear infection.
Even with all that I can’t believe how much it seems that Caden’s vocal responses have been improving in recent days. Maybe it is because his speech therapist is pushing him harder. I will capture some on video and share it with you soon. His voice is so precious and every little syllable is music to my ears. Caden seems to be initiating much more conversation using words without prompting. Our little Punkie is growing up.
