Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

Will hasn't had a great day today. He was very irritable this morning and he's having some trouble breathing. He's having to work really hard to breathe and you can see his chest just pulling every time he takes a breath. They had to cut his CPAP trial short this morning because of it, and they didn't even try his trach collar trial because they didn't think he would tolerate it. He also didn't do very well on his bottle feeds. He wouldn't take any of the first two, but he took 25 cc's out of a 45 cc bottle for me, then took 15 at his last feeding. The doctors think he may be getting some kind of little bug, but for right now they're just watching him closely and waiting to see what shakes out. We're praying that he's just having an off day and that he's not experiencing any major setback. Everyone keep your fingers crossed and say your prayers for sweet Will.
