Spread em' - October 19, 2013

Amy got to hold Owen again today!  He is not peeing too much today, but he has been having regular stools.  They increased his milk intake to 3ml per hour.

He is continuing with his blood transfusion today.

Some of his kidney numbers aren't too good, but the doctor thinks they are working.

The lungs still looked good today.  They are looking good enough that they are thinking about extubating him tomorrow!  It didn't go too good last time.  He hasn't even cried yet.  We are hoping that this time he will leave the ventilator for good!  He will be put on c-pap and with all the tubes out of his mouth and throat, we should eventually hear a soft hoarse cry!

His liver is slowly getting better.

Praying for:

  • Decision to extubate or not
  • If to extubate, let it go smoothly
  • Kidneys to function better
  • Lungs to function better
  • Liver to function better
  • Bones to grow stronger
  • Adrenal glands to work correctly
  • No long term side effects from steroids

  1. You just don't know how much I appreciate the blog. You are special, to be able to keep it going, along with all the other things you are having to do. Be glad when you can bring Owen home and just love him to pieces!!
