We've been back on the roller coaster with Elis this week. He seems to have been relatively stable without actually improving. Blood tests yesterday showed that the antibiotics have cleared his chest infection so those meds stopped yesterday afternoon but he's had so much blood taken this week, he needed another blood transfusion last night.
His oxygen requirement hasn't really reduced over the week and he started getting more unstable yesterday evening and was put back onto CPAP, which he doesn't like. During the night he needed to be bagged twice which seems like a big step backwards. The nurse this morning said that he's been a bit more stable in the last few hours.
I'll be going in for Ward Rounds shortly to hear what the consultant has to say.
I set up this blog to provide some updates on the status of Elis whilst he was in the Neonatal Unit following his birth three months early on 18th June 2007. The blog and his photos are now available as a book from http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=1669468.
