Everything has been going well this weekend. Eli is still stable and he's getting some iron now. He's had some good awake time over the weekend but he doesn't look very comfortable on the high flow oxygen. We've had a few desaturations over the weekend that caused Patricia and me to wonder if the high flow is doing any good. Eli is on 21% oxygen which is the same thing as room air. The big advantage of the CPAP is it blows a continuous stream of pressurized air into Eli's nose. The high flow nasal cannula doesn't even stay put in his nose most of the time let along create any positive pressure.
Patricia's sister Michelle was pregnant and due about a month or so after Patricia. This morning they induced Michelle and we just got news that she had her baby. Unfortunately there were some complications. Patricia told me the baby was born breach with the umbilical cord wrapped around the baby's body. They rushed the baby up to the NICU after delivery. We don't have a status update on how their baby is doing yet but our prayers and thoughts are with them. It was definitely hard news to take and my heart goes out to them tonight because we've been going through this for so long that some of our fear and panic has subsided. You get a little numb after a while. I know Michelle and Fred are hurting tonight so please direct your prayers toward them and pray for a swift recovery for little baby Drew Michael Morganthaler.
