Elis has been a bit better today and has only been dipping when he dislodges his prongs from his nose. He has had his caffeine medication suspended as they tested his caffeine levels yesterday and they were off the scale! The caffeine is supposed to be acting as a stimulant to remind him to breathe but can also cause reflux, which they think could be causing some of his desaturations. He was given some Gaviscon yesterday which they think helped him. It'll take a few days for the caffeine to clear his body so we'll see what happens...
