We just left the hospital for the day which is always hard. Baby is doing well off of the ventilator and is still just on oxygen. The nurses say that they'd like his oxygen intake to be a little less, (right now he's on 38% oxygen and they'd like to get him below that) but this may just come with time. His blood gases, which are blood samples taken to see how his blood is oxygenating, have all been great. We're still waiting to hear on the results of his second echocardiogram to see how his ductus is closing, and the ultrasound on his little noggin. He does have a slight bleed in his brain which is common and has not spread, and once his heart is all set it will clear up. Our concern at this point is the bleed may cause some long term issues down the road that we won't see until he's a lot older developmentally. These complications can range from learning disabilities, to plain clumsiness. The most common are speech development problems and cognitive function problems which can be fixed with physical therapy and speech therapy, all things we can manage. We'll take it day by day for now and cross these bridges when we come to them. Based on how well he's doing and how much he likes to move around, I don't think we'll have to worry. Now that he has his breathing tube out, he loves to suck on his fingers and it's the cutest thing ever! We'll keep you updated.
