03/11/10 Thursday Pictures

Thursday has had some ups and downs. This morning there was another genetic test back and it was normal. Anything normal is good news. Eli has been on high flow oxygen now for about a day and a half and we get our first CO2 test today. They are going to draw blood right after his 4 hour window on high flow and regular oxygen.

The test results are in for the CO2 and it looks like they've gone up a little. His CO2 was 59 and bicarbonates were 35. The neonatologist said she expected the results to increase a little and she doesn't think they will go any higher. She doesn't seem worried at all but we're a little concerned.

Enjoy the pictures.
