1. I brought James home today, he is eating and pooping well. Never been excited when a kid pooped before. Not sure why the Oxygen levels were low, but they disappeared and his bilirubin count is remaining low.
2 Joseph. They tried to remove the ventilator today, but despite him breathing well, his throat was swollen from the tube being down his throat which prevented him from breathing. They re-intubated him and he is stable again. He is on steroids to decrease the swelling and they are likely to try again tomorrow. Everyone I have talked to with a child in the NICU indicated there will be good and bad days, looks like we didn't have a good day today. I am hopeful for a good day tomorrow.
Thanks for your continued support, thoughts and prayers, we definitely need them.
Jason and Kristine
