Caden vs. Dr. Norohna

Caden met with the pulmonologist, Dr. Norohna, on Monday. The doctor said that it sounds like Caden is breathing deeper. He also said that it looks like he is breathing deeper as well. So, all in all that is good to hear. They took his blood gas levels and another test, just to see how he is doing with his CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) levels and other levels.

The nurse for Dr. Norohna's office called yesterday, they said that his levels were about where they expected them to be and that everything looked good. Both Holly and I wish that they had told me "what" the levels actually were. Since we learned so much in the hospital, we would have at least had a general knowledge about them.

Today, Caden's physical therapist and "teacher" were supposed to come by for the first time at 10:15AM. They are going to come once a week to my understanding. But, only the teacher showed up. The "teacher" said that it was very unusual for the physical therapist to not show up. But, the "teacher" did what she came to do anyway. She is going to help him with playing with his toys, like batting at them, and things like that.

They are also going to set up a time where we can meet all of the people that will be working with him. (i.e. the physical therapist, the "teacher," the occupational therapist, etc.)
