Alex had one step forward and two steps back. The good news is that he is no longer hooked up to the CPAP, he just has regular oxygen which means smaller tubes and he is much more comfortable.

The bad news is that he has/had a leak in an air sack of his lungs. He has some air in his chest cavity now. All of his numbers for his blood gases still look good and it doesn't seem to be bothering him so they aren't going to do anything to remove it right now. They are going to watch it and see if it resolves itself.

The other bad news is that Alex's biliruben level is double what it should be....that means he has jaundice and is under the bili lights.....gee I think I remember Miguel going through this too!

They have also stopped is feedings until some of these things come undercontrol. So we are back to freezing my milk for him. They do still have him hooked up the the bag of nutrition and the IV of fats so he should still gain weight. He really liked having food in his belly though so I feel for the little guy.

I will be going home tonight and will head back to Toledo tomorrow morning. Hopefully tomorrow the Ronald McDonald house can get me in. There are only two people on the list ahead of me as of this morning. I may just stay at the hospital until they can get me in. I can sleep on a pull out bed next to Alex. I haven't decided.

I will be able to post pictures after I go home tonight. I will grab the cord for my camera to upload them.

I will keep everyone updated.
