Michael is staying stable. The lab work and xray are the same. Today the staff are much more optomistic, yesterday they all feared the worst. Yesterday was a very very hard day. He will likely have another blood transfusion tonight or tomorrow. He had a blood transfusion last night, I think that I forgot to post that. Part of the feeling of relief is that his acidosis is gone--which can indicate bowel tissue dying. We hope that it stays that way.
There will be no expected brain damage--he has never been short of oxygen. In fact, he is not on oxygen right now. They have a cannila in his nose, but it is just forcing in room air at a higher pressure. In fact if he got any worse yesterday, they were going to put him on nitrogen to decrease the amount of oxygen.
His eyes are always closed, he is always sleeping. They keep him sedated and he has some pain meds. He sure is a cute little one! We can hardly wait to have him home and give him tons of snuggles. That may not be for 3-5 weeks.
Julie's fever is climbing again tonight. We hope that she will feel better quickly. At least yesterday is behind us that was ONE TERRIBLE DAY!!!!!
