The bad - (Sunday)
Gabe gave us a pretty good scare Sunday night. He had major swelling due to the medication that he was on for his PDA and he had low blood pressure. His platlet counts was down and he had his 4th blood transfusion. The doctor also could not pinpoint what was causing his worsening condition. Lab cultures needed additional time for results. Words could not express how we were feeling.
The good -(Monday)
PDA medication was halted and his swelling had reversed, blood pressure was back up and cultures came back negative for infections. What a relief!
An xray was taken to verify the location of his new breathing tube and another echo on his heart to view his PDA. The PDA had not closed but did reduce in size.
We should find out Tuesday or Wednesday if they will try another round of medication or decide on surgery to close his PDA.
Hooray for good days! We think about you guys a lot and you remain in our prayers.
ReplyDeletePraying, praising, praying for you both and Gabe!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the updates. I will continue praying for Gabe to grow in strength, to keep away from infections, and for his PDA to close. You guys are also in my prayers. Sending love - Becca

I would love to, if you/they let me, take some pictures of you guys touching Gabe's little hand like that. Some neat black & white ones that you can treasure forever. Just let me know if you think that's possible. It would be my gift to you.
