I Spy With my Little Eye...

A de-saturation of 20% (88%-98% is normal saturation) scared this mom today but Wyatt quickly recovered. The nurse did come running in and had to increase his oxygen significantly.  Although it was only a few seconds, those seconds were painful!  Sometimes he drops to 87%, 80%, even 60% but I've never experienced 20%.  I'm thankful that the rest of his day was less exciting!

He did have a visit from the pediatric ophthalmologist tonight who reported that although his retina is not fully developed that retinopathy of prematurity does not appear to be a concern.  That's a big one so we're thankful that this initial report was very positive.  Wyatt was also happy to have those eye clamps removed at the end of her evaluation.  She will be back in 2 weeks and we'll keep all of you posted!
