This morning I'm starting to feel a little better. I got some antibiotics from the doctor yesterday and my eyes are no longer swelling shut so I'll take that as a good sign.
Patricia is still holding down the fort with Eli. I know it's been tough on her the last few days because she hasn't been spending as much time with Ian and Obie as she usually would, especially over the weekend. I'm really missing Eli too. It's been hard on me knowing we don't have anyone sitting with him because I'm sick but Patricia said one of the nurses was holding him when she got to the hospital the other day. The nurses in the NICU have been pretty amazing and at least we know Eli's in good hands while he's there.
Eli has been stable with his CO2 holding in the high 50's for the last several days. He is on regular oxygen through a nasal cannula for 8 hours a day and the rest of the time he is on the BiPAP. This combination seems to be working fairly well but it still isn't a combination what will allow us to take Eli home. There is some hope that we might have some new solutions to try out on Eli and I'm hoping to write of these during the week but so far none of them have materialized yet. We'll just have to wait to see what the week brings.
