Day 35, 930 grams
Today started out fine, but things got a little interesting at night. Just before 9pm the nurse was clearing out the gunk that gets stuck in my mouth and nose when suddenly I had trouble breathing. My oxygen saturation fell a lot and my heart rate went as low as 55 pbm for about 4 minutes. The nurses acted fast by removing my nasal tube and then "bagging" me, which you've probably seen doctors do on TV. Also another nurse was giving me chest compressions, sort of like baby CPR, to make sure my blood kept pumping. At 8:59 my colour had returned to normal and we all waited for the doctor to arrive to see what the next step would be. I enjoyed having a little bit of time without anything stuck to my face! (see picture) When the doctor arrived, he decided to reintubate me, which means I had to go back to having the tube down my throat again.
One of the reasons I'm having trouble keeping my oxygen saturation level up is because I have a heart murmur (Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a heart problem that is common among premature babies. Read more about it here. -Dad) The doctor decided that I need to go for an operation at the Children's Hospital as soon as possible to have this problem fixed. I'll let you know when the operation will be as soon as they tell me.
Bye for now,
AOV

Breathe & smile, little guy! Sorry to hear you had a hard day yesterday; hope today is going better.
Tell your Mom & Dad I'm praying for them that they'll learn to be hopeful when they feel most empty through all this.
Love to the room you're in,
