We are truly hoping that tonight is Christmas Eve in our household! The cardiologist actually told the nurse this morning that Caleb will be able to come home in the next day or two. Here's hoping tomorrow is THE day! :) Here's hoping that tomorrow is Christmas for our house!! That is certainly what it feels like...anxiously awaiting Christmas morning...anxiously awaiting the call to say Caleb can come home!
They increased his profusion medicine again today from .45 ml to 1 ml., as he was still high-sating in the upper 90s, even 100 again today. So we truly pray that the major increase will do the trick and bring down his oxygen numbers to where they need to be to make the cardiologist happy in the morning. He can be released over the weekend, but I am sure it will not be with the same amount or quality of information that we could receive on a weekday.
Somewhere along the way today they increased the amount of each feeding again. Now his goal is to drink 75 mls in a bottle. He actually drank all 60 mls at one of his feedings during the night last night, which totally surprised me. He has not come close to drinking that much at any of his feedings so we have no idea how that nurse got him to drink a whole bottle. Not sure how long it is going to be before he can drink all 75 mls at each feeding. They apparently increased the amount because he has not gained any weight the last couple days.
We certainly appreciate the prayers that his oxygen numbers would come down to a comfortable level overnight and the cardiologist will be pleased with what he/she sees in the morning!!
Merry Christmas! :)
