Today Loki reaches 27 weeks of development. I just realized that he is finally in the third trimester.
Last night, while we were all at the hospital, Loki began to have many brady arrythmias (sudden and brief drops in his heart rate) over a period of just a few minutes. The staff concluded that his breathing tube had partially slipped out. Because they were planning on perhaps removing the tube today, they went ahead and pulled out the tube. Instead of the respirator, he is now on the SiPAP breathing machine. This is what he was on for a few days, a couple weeks ago.
Last night (or early this morning), Mom called in to check on Loki. He was not doing so well on the SiPAP. We are about to go in for the morning report, and will update you all when we know more.
