After days of setbacks, Luke finally made a little progress! His last blood gas was much higher than it has been (90 when it has been in the 50s) and hopefully he can keep it up. The doctors are still trying to decide what to do with his vent settings. He still gets very agitated anytime he is checked or moved, causing heart rate and breathing to go dangerously low every few hours.
His antibiotics are finished and this afternoon steroids were started. The docs expect to see progress from the steroids within 2-3 days.
Jack is doing great. Feeding has been increased he last few days and he is getting 3.5ml/hour. He continues to gain weight and seems to be very happy and comfortable most of the time.
