Update Call
Hannah is sick too. We're all at home. Maybe it's a gift...forcing a bit of rest on us.
We've called into the NICU a couple of times for updates, and all seems well.
Charlotte's "just hanging out" according to the nurses. She's been at 23% oxygen (21% is room air) on CPAP and has had oxygen saturations in the in the high 90s (which is great). As a result, they're lowering her CPAP to 21% (which is as low as it goes). She's breathing well on her own, actually seeming to surpass her brother in this area. She's been active, as always. Hopefully, she doesn't use up too much energy since she won't start on milk for a few days still. She received her next (lower) dose of the medicine for her PDA, and it looks like she is tolerating it well.
Thomas is steady. He started his first (higher) dose of the medicine for his PDA. So far, so good. Hopefully, he tolerates it and can be thru with the treatment by sometime tomorrow.
Audrey is receiving a blood transfusion (she didn't get one yesterday), so she'll start her first (higher) dose of the medicine for her PDA once that is finished.
Short updates tend to be good updates. Short and sweet. We are grateful.
