The nurse is now drawing some more blood to recheck his blood gases to check that the CPAP is having the desired effect of improving his blood gas levels.
To draw blood from a vein and to make it resemble a arterial draw they warm his foot up and then stick his foot and then draw the blood into a very small tube.
Sometimes they can get a previous stick to reopen by heating his foot and then pressing on it. This time that did not work and the nurse had to prick his foot again.
All of this is breakig his Mom's heart.
