New Room - Wednesday, September 15, 2010

Baby GL is getting closer to coming back home.  On Monday his oxygen was decreased to 2 liters at 100% oxygen.  His x-rays were improving but still showing some cloudiness in his upper right lung.  I guess with his lung disease it may take time to clear up, but the doctors don't sounds as concerned.  Baby GL spent most of the weekend being deep suctioned in nose and throat which he is less than thrilled with.  He had a lot that needed to come out, though.  I only wish I could bring that could bring that suction tool home with me.  The little suction bubbles just don't compare.

Yesterday Baby GL was down to .5 liter of oxygen at 100% which is low enough for him to come home.  He's not home yet, but he did move out of the Pediatric ICU. He's moving up in the world, all the way up to the 11th floor.  He has another private room, even with a full bathroom this time.  There wasn't a need for the constant care in the ICU any longer so a regular pediatric room is where he's recovering. Hopefully it's a short stay and he'll be home this week.
