One heck of a night

Last night was super rough. Cooper was in so much pain. The dr had only ordered his pain med for every 6 hours, and after 2-3 he was back in pain and needing another dose. The reason for the longer space between doses was in hopes that he could stay off of the O2, but he was in more respitory distress from the pain, screaming, and reflux then the meds. He was screaming and his sats kept dropping and the blow by was just too hard, so they put him back on 1/2 liter O2 for the night. He was screaming so bad at one point, every nurse on the floor told me that they were trying to get something for him. The were having phone shut down last night, and were having trouble getting a hold of the doc. They finally did and he upped it to every 4 hours as well as giving him chloraseptic spray and gas drops. After his 11:00 meds, he laid in Curtis's lap and watch an Elmo movie until he finally fell asleep. He went in his bed at around 12:30. He would frequently wake to scream and squirm, but with a little patting he would drift back to sleep. I think he got about a 45min stretch then. After that, he was crying and in pain off and on. He had another dose of meds at about 4. After that we put in Mickey Mouse and laid him in his crib. This is when we finally got some sleep. I think I probably got an hour straight that time. At around 6, we tried formula, but he wasn't interested. He just held the bottle, but would not drink. handy manny was on, so we were able to lay him down and get about another hour of sleep. He also came off O2 around then and continues to do well, except when in pain. He had a dose of pain meds and throat spray at 8. He didn't get but maybe a forth of the pain meds, but we got a good spray in the back of his throat and that really seemed to help. He has still only had 3 1/2 oz of formual since 9pm Thursday. He is just simply not interseted. He has had about an oz of juice at most today. So the IV is still in, and it will stay in. The charge nurse just came in and agreed it should stay for now. We may see about lowering the fluids he is getting to see if the need for fluids will encouage him to drink. He had about a tablespoon of steamed white rice for breakfast. He was very interested in that, but just didn't eat much. We have yet to see the dr today, but unless he is eating and drinking, he won't go home. He and Curtis are sleeping in the recliner now. I'm going to try and get ready for the day while they are resting. I will ry to post a pick or 2 of our boy soon.
