187th Day in the NICU

Today has been very upsetting. His saturation has been in the 80's and he keeps desating. Mom got to hold tonight and he was stating great but then they put him in his bouncy seat he was just unhappy. Late in the night his blood draw came back. His platelets (was around 300) are high but his hemacrit was low. He needs more blood and that should help with his oxygen levels. His PICC line culture came back negative so it was not the PICC line that caused the reoccurrance of the Staph infection. Another thing is he does not seem to be responding to the methadone as much as the morphine so we will talk to the Dr's Tomorrow and see what happens.
