plateau & snow & chanukah

Some picture's from Gigi's party and snow and Julian and Chanukah...

We've had about a foot of snow. We still can make it back and forth to the hospital - barely. Most of the medical personnel have been sleeping there. The good news is that means there's lots of sledding going on.

We're now at the end of the prednisone trials and it's sort of a few steps forwards and a few step backwards. He's down on 1.0L/minute of oxygen @ about 50% O2. That gets us closer to what he could go home on - typicaly 0.5L/minute @ 100% O2. However, all the progress he made for pCO2 and NaHCO3 is basically gone. So essentially now we wait. He's still breathing too quickly to start feeding (don't want to risk pneumonia). And we just wait and wait and wait for that to fix itself.
