Anders was desaturating a lot yesterday. He had to go up to .75 liters of low flow O2 today. They have started him on lasix again because some of his weight gain might be water weight. The Southdale nurses have also put him back in an isolette, not because his temperature is low but because he gets agitated by the crying babies and commotion in the cramped quarters. I can't blame him! He's not at the bowling alley country club anymore.
Anna thinks he is gathering himself and adapting. At some point he had to leave the fourth floor of the East Wing of Riverside Hospital. This is a needed learning experience about change for him and us.
Dorene got to hold him for the first time today. She seemed like she was in another dimension. Elated might not be a strong enough term.
He is getting used to his new surroundings and will come back strong from this setback.
