I just got an update from the nurse over the phone on his progress.
1. They got the picc line in last night and everything went smoothly with that.
2. His white blood count doubled!!! He is still on reverse contamination though since it is still low.
3. They have to gradually take out the tubes that were in his umbilical cord and keep him on his back for 4 hours to make sure everything closes today. The nurse said that he has not liked being on his back today, so they're going to have to sedate him a little and give him more support through today.
Overall, he is doing good though for everything that happened this last day. Praise God!
