70th Day in the NICU

We decided we needed to talk to Drayke's Neonatalogist Dr Karmo. We have not had a update from a Dr in a while. Dr Karmo told us that when he looked on the brain sonogram that Drayke no longer had the Cyst. This means chances are that he does not have PVL. This was only the 2nd most concern with his lungs being the 1st concern. A big weight has been lifted off our chest.

We also spoke to Dr Karmo about having Drayke start the steriod injection. He is doing good on the vent but Dr Karmo was saying that he is not moving as fast as he would like him too. Since we already discussed this before Drayke was moved to the Ventilator we decided to go ahead and give it a try. He will be on it for 9 days.

He said we would not see a change for at least 24 hrs and that there is a chance of a bounce back reaction after the dose of steriods are done and if he is off the vent he may need to go back on. Of course this is all speculation. I am happy that my son may be off the ventilator soon.
