The Waiting Game
So now it is a waiting game. They did another echocardiogram of his heart and the hypertension has resolved, which is great news. Now we wait til Tyse is ready to be off oxygen. He is eating great and is gaining weight. Today he weighs 5 lb 12 1/2 oz. He is still requiring oxygen to help keep his sats up. They go up and down all day long. He also has another blood test in the morning to test his platelets. We are crossing our fingers that it goes up and not down. We love spending our days by his side, but are ready to bring him home. Dan leaves for home tomorrow and I will stay until he is ready. Luckily, Dan has a cousin here that I will be staying with. Love you all!!!

He is seriously so adorable!!! I am so glad you keep updating!!! I bet your kids can't wait for their mom, dad and little brother to come home :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with his platelet count. I can only imagine how anxious you ALL are to be going home. The NICU is fun and all....but home is so much better. And like Kim said, Thanks for the frequent updates.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the adoption of another beautiful child. I hope Tyse continues to grow stronger every day so you can bring home the new addition to your cute little family soon! Thinking about you always!!
