Things are looking better

Yesterday was a good day for Luke. His nasal cannula (oxygen tubing) was changed from the high-flow bigger size to a normal-sized, smaller one. His oxygen is staying at 2 liters and he was able to drink a bottle yesterday.

Still waiting to see the residents and doctors, but we expect to move out of the intermediate care unit sometime today. Luke should lose his IV and feeding tube today an continue bottle feeding.

I won't post much more because a lot may change after talking to the doctors, but it looks like Luke should be home by the end of the week. The pulmonary team is thinking that his pulmonary hypertension (which he had after birth before coming home) has been back for some time and his lungs have been overworked for a while. We will most likely have oxygen at home again for a few months. Still lots of questions and we hope to get some answers today.
