Greetings.
Elsa and Jonas continue their slow and steady journey in the NICU.
In less than an hour Jonas will try round two on CPAP. His blood gases have continued to hold steady and he is ready and raring to go! We know he will give it his best effort and we are praying for him.
Elsa has had a couple of days of, to be honest, wonderful blood gases. She has been steadily weened down on her vent and she is now hanging out at 25bpm provided by the machine. This is the same rate that Jonas hung out at for a week while he prepared for CPAP. She is making great progress on her lungs currently. What we really are praying that she will do is...poop. Sorry to be so blunt but she hasn't gone in several days. We are hoping that overnight she does. The doctors have reduced the amount of milk that she is receiving and are going to give her a bit more time to see if she can do it. Otherwise, they will need to do further exams to figure out if there is blockage or other more severe problems going on. We have our fingers crossed.
We continue to pray for Jonas and Elsa. We will post tomorrow with an update on Jonas and CPAP, as well as, a diaper update on Elsa.
God Bless,
Dan & Mari & Jonas & Elsa
