Camden's first day in NICU

When Camden arrived in Topeka on Wednesday May 25th he got hooked up to oxygen, IV, feeding tube, and was put in an incubator. Unfortunately Camden's breathing rate was way to high and they couldn't get it to go down. They ended up hooking him up to a C-Pap breathing machine.
When looking over his lab results, Camden's protein level was higher than the normal level. At that time they suspected he may have an infection and started giving him an antibiotic for 5 days. He was also a little yellow so they tested him for Jaundice. He did have Jaundice but it was not severe enough to be treated.
Camden has been able to keep his food down and digest like he is suppose to.
