I am so angry all I can do is cry.
We specifically asked the doctors yesterday if they were going to keep track of his CO2 and we were told not to worry about his gas levels. When they finally measured it this morning after I raised the alarm because of his odd behavior, they were higher then they had been during his whole hospital stay.
He is still on the BiPAP machine but if his numbers don't improve they will put him back on the ventilator.
Noah is simply not doing a good job exhaling and getting rid of CO2. His brain may be responsible but no one can really seem to tell us. They are finally going to start feeding him again... which hopefully will give him some additional energy to work on breathing a little bit more on his own.
This was a very discouraging morning.

Deb,
Praying for strength and that the communication with and between doctors, nurses, and you guys would only continue to get better and that they can work as a team to figure out what's going on.
Praying for you all and the doctors.

Praying for all of you! We've been following your journey with Noah since Jodie put his picture on her blog. You're all in our daily prayers, and you are loved far and wide by friends and strangers alike. Praying for Noah to recover quickly and for the doctors' competence to help him. Praying for rest and peace for all of you.

still praying for you! we were really busy up here today but i did come down and see your little man this afternoon before leaving but i didnt get to see you guys. you have lots of support i can tell from these comments i hope you all can be encouraged thru this
All three of you are in my thoughts and prayers!!
Deb--All I can say is a repeat of the other comments. I'm praying for ALL of the Lauer clan and will add you to E Free's prayer list. I've already got many of my pals hooked onto your blog, and they are also storming the heavens on your behalf.
love, hugs and prayers coming your way. lots of tears here but hopeful prayers, too.
Deb and Josh,
I wish I could reach through your laptop and give you guys a big hug. You could use that --- along with some more shoulders to cry on. I think about you often and always say a quick prayer that things are improving. I hope the meeting tomorrow morning goes well and provides you with answers and a coordinated care plan for Noah. After reading about what you went through today, you are certainly owed an apology and an explanation, along with assurance that it won't happen again. I hope and pray you all have a restful night and a good day tomorrow. God Bless You, Kathy
What an emotional and physical roller-coaster ride you must feel like your on. I am so sorry about what is happening with Noah and how confused he must be. We are praying for you and the "idiots". Cover Noah with kisses and hugs and know you are loved.
We continue to pray for wisdom and strength.
