Will is doing okay. He was very alert this morning... if he wasn't looking at mommy, he was staring above at his baby warmer, which has little mirrors that are great for babies to gaze at.
His hermadocrite is a little lower than they like, so they are giving him a blood transfusion. They think that giving him blood will improve his numbers on his blood gas, and then they will be able to wean him on his ventilator rate, which is still 40.
Pain Management did a consult earlier, and they decided to put Will on a morphine IV drip. Since he is on morphine, they are going to stop his methadone. They are also going to give him ativan (pain/sedative med.) as needed.
The doctors are holding their weekly conference this afternoon. If Bove's schedule permits, he will join them. They hope to come up with a plan for Baby Will.
We're staying in my Dad's hotel room at The Residence Inn until a room comes up at Ronald McDonald House. With the superbowl going on this weekend, we really have no idea when that will be.
I'll let you know if we hear anything!
