Update from Kristen
At last visit, little Lucas was on the oscillating ventilator and responding well- his blood oxygen levels improved. However, he was too sensitive tonight for Brandon or I to touch him. We will be hearing more about the ultra sound of his brain tomorrow that looks for hemoroaging- a potential condition in preemies. My pumping schedule is 8:30, 11:30, 2:30, 5:30 repeating. If you'd like to visit, please plan 1/2 hour after these times and call first so I know to expect you and tell you where I'll be. We have decided to limit visitors to the baby to immediate family for now to reduce stimulation to his environment. Thanks again for all the prayers and support!

Latest update from NICU: Lucas is still stable and his blood oxygen levels are good. His weight and white blood cell count are still of concern. He will have another heart scan on Tuesday to see if his PDA has improved. We think they put off the ultrasound of his head, but we need to double check.
ReplyDeleteI was able to successfully produce some collostrum for Lucas through pumping which was very exciting for me. I want to help him get stronger! My blood pressures were pretty high this morning, but they put me back on the medicine to bring it down and its been better later throughout the day.
