Day 10

Things are pretty stable. Here are today's pictures.

Respiratory

He's breathing fine on CPAP on room air. They're also trying just plain nose tubes with high flow (no pressure) and that seems to work too for short periods of time. He may graduate from CPAP in the next couple of days.

Food

"Eating" well. He's up to 2ml/hour, which is double yesterday's rate. No issues to speak of

Blood Pressure

He seems to have high blood pressure. They did an ultrasound to check out his kidneys and to check out the places where the central lines are/were. That came back negative.  We talked to a "senior resident" to ask what they look for next. She said they'd do an echocardiogram, but she didn't know we had already done one. So she said they wouldn't do that again. She then said there are hormonal things they can look at, but that they wouldn't look for those for a few days.

Here's a little tour of his digs (NICU cribz) or click the image below.
