After a whole lot of testing and PCMC being able to stabilize Maximus on the oscillating ventilator things are looking up again. :)
He is keeping his oxygen needs to the 30-40% range (21% is room air)
Max does NOT have meningitis, unfortunately they found this out by doing a spinal tap on him. Poor thing!
His brain is looking great, no clots, bleeds, or excess fluid.
He is starting to open his eyes, we saw a few sneak peaks of blue today.
We are all hoping the indomethacin is going to work and close his PDA
Max is also on steroids, which is causing some swelling, mostly in his sweet face. :(
He has a bacterial infection in his lungs :( but he is on antibiotics
My parents have made it possible for me to be able to see him everyday, and I have never felt so lucky even though he is in the NICU I have had countless blessings and wonderful things occur in the last few weeks.
