Dear Samuel,
Today was an awesome day. Because it was so awesome, I'm really tired...so I'm going to make this somewhat short.
Your infection. Gone.
Disclaimer: For the most part, its gone. We are past the 60 hour mark of having a negative culture. They are still keeping you on antibiotics for another 7-10 days though just to make sure we completely got it.
Your breathing. Like a Champ.
You are still on the CPAP machine and doing really well. When we there tonight, you only had about 5 to 10 de-sats...which, compared to the other night is a complete 180. You WERE on 60% O2 though, which is up a bit but your RR (Respiration rate) is down to 20 (When you were on the vent this number was up around 40 to 50).
Blood Sugar. Stabilized.
They took you off of your insulin drip today, because your numbers were reading in the mid 100s (Tonight was around 130).
Hemoglobin. Well, not quite sure but I bet it's up.
You had another transfusion today, because your Hemoglobin had dropped to around 9.0. I have a feeling this may be helping with your O2 saturation levels as well.
If you have a good overnight, your Mom may get to hold you again. We are praying that you do.
See you bright and early buddy.
Love,
Mom and Dad
