Curious symptoms - Thursday, August 12, 2010


Baby GL is having another good day.  The only concern was that around 4am the nurse found blood in his diaper.  The cause is still a little unknown.  X-rays show that everything seems to be fine so the only explanation is something left over from surgery.  As a precaution, Baby GL was taken off his feeds and put on an antibiotic.  

Aside from that he's continued to go down on his oxygen needs.  He's now on 2 liters with about 25% oxygen.  The time he needs a little more oxygen is when he's restless because he's very hungry.  Hopefully he'll get milk tomorrow.  The pacifier can only distract him so much.   I was able to do some oral cares this morning with milk. Hopefully he'll be so excited to bottle feed after all this.
