Today Carter has been doing well. They made a slight increase to his CPAP settings to increase the force of air in an effort to open up his lungs more (alveoli). His saturation levels have been good. We were advised that his brain ultrasound was stable so that is great news. Although there is still some risk of a worsening bleed it is very small now. His sodium has decreased and they are watching that closely but they feel it is due to some decrease in urine production. They have placed him on additional sodium to help it out. His goal today.....make urine and breath. He is still under the lights but his bilirubin did decrease to 4.5 so we are hopeful that he will get off that in a day or so, he is hopeful too since he does not like his mask. Keep up the good work Carter. Mommy and Daddy love you! I will post a picture in tonight's blog for you all to enjoy. Continued prayers!
