Update: Nate was released from the hospital late Monday night.
Today was our fourth day in the hospital. The whole time we've just been waiting for Nate's O2 level to stabilize. It was about 89 when we were ordered to the hospital and he was put on 2L of O2. As I type this, he's asleep on Angie's shoulder with a rate of 92 while being on about .125mL of O2. It tends to go down when he's sleeping. He has to be off O2 and maintain at least a 95 for 12 hours before he will be released so we may not go home tomorrow either. But, tonight was the first night that he didn't develop a fever in the evening and his O2 level has remained fairly high. He may have to stay on it all night but at least we see some encouraging signs that we're headed in the right direction.
Poor kiddo! He looks happy in the picture - hoping you guys get to go home soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to feeling better, Nate! I hope Mommy and Daddy are doing good, too.
ReplyDeleteToday was his best day, by far. I liked how it looked like he was watching his monitor. His mother and I certainly have been!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about and praying for your little "Nater Tater". Hope things continue to improve quickly and you all can go home soon!!
