The doctor informed us this morning that Lucas's xray of his lungs looked "much better" this morning. He was supposed to get another one tonight and we haven't heard back on it yet. This is good news, although they don't know which of the three things they did made a difference. I suspect its likely a combination, but for sure the diuretics seemed to help the last time. They're still working on closing the PDA and cannot feed him until he comes off the indomethacin. He should have a heart scan tomorrow or Friday to see if the medicine is working. The doctor said though he's a sick little boy, he's happy with Lucas's response to treatment and is optimistic.
This is a blog about Lucas Matthew Sharp. Born after just 25 weeks of gestation, he's a little fella who needs a lot of love and support.
