Doing great!

Good news - Kale got moved down to 1 lpm on his vapotherm today! He has had one blood gas since he was moved down and it was good! What a stud :)

The poor guy does have an IV in right now...in his head. He had to get a blood transfusion today and they put an IV in his head because they had a good vein there. They will leave it in until tomorrow when they do labs again, just in case he needs another transfusion. His hemoglobin was getting a little low, and they wanted to give him a little boost since they were going to be decreasing his oxygen flow on the vapotherm.

Derc spoke with the Dr. today and she had great things to say about how Kale is progressing. We're hoping this week I can begin nursing and see how he does with it. As soon as he can nail that, he's one step closer to going home! Last night I put together his stroller (shower gift from my mom and Sarah!) so we are really ready to get him home now!!!

Thanks for checking in, he's doing great, thanks for keeping him in your prayers!
