Tiny feet - November 3, 2103

Owen rested again today.  He didn't seem to want to do much work on the ventilator either.

He is finally turning a little bit pink in places.  This is a good sign for his liver problems.

His lungs look ok.  Their is still an infection in there and it is now getting treated with the best antibiotic for it.  He is still coughing up a little blood.

The official ECHO report was in.  His heart looks good.

He got a blood transfusion today.

Owen got his milk fortified (calcium,zinc,etc.) a little bit yesterday.  Breast milk does not have as much of these things that premature babies need.  Today they upped his feeds to 44ml every 3 hours.

Owen lost weight last night, too.


Praying for:

Kidneys to function better

Liver to function better

Adrenal glands to function better

Bones to grow stronger

Lungs to function better

Infections to stay away

Eyes to work correctly

Heart problems to heal

No long term effects from the steroids
