Latest on Tony
So to give everyone the latest update on Tony...He has been switched to the CPAP machine to help his lungs expand fully and work better. A chest X-ray today to see if that the CPAP is helping that we will find out on Monday. He was given a medication to close his PDA which an echo was performed today to determine if it worked which we will find out on Monday. An ultrasound of his head on Monday to determine if the medicine to close his PDA caused any bleeding in his head. He is back under a small bili light since his bilirubin levels are back up which could be because his bowels haven't been moving well until today. He had a blood transfusion Thursday evening because he wasn't making enough blood to compensate for the blood the nurses have been taking for testing. His blood cultures so far are negative for growth meaning that he has no infection yet. I was able to hold him for a while tonight and I loved it!
