His x-ray this morning looked good as well as his echo cardiogram. Dr.Kanter says that as long as we stay off the oxygen then we can go home tomorrow. He has been off his oxygen for about 14 hours now and his saturation levels are looking good. He got sick from one his feeds this evening. It happened right before I gave him his bath and then again right after I finished giving him the bath. He was not happy when I had to give him the second bath. The doctors still have no clue as to what could have caused his lung to collapse (or they do know and they are not admitting that it was caused from the surgery). It's hard to question something that saved his life, but at this point I think its worth going to another doctor/surgeon at another hospital to get another opinion. It's late and this is probably my last night with "glorified babysitters" that are our nurses so I am going to get at least 6 hours of sleep before I have to have him down in radiology in the morning. Thanks for everyone that has taken time to read the blog. We love you all! Also, thanks for the thoughts and prayers. If you don't mind please pray for my friend Michelle Cochran Nicholson and her family, she is pregnant and has to have an emergency cervical cerclage (stitching the cervix closed to prevent preterm labor) done today.
Love to all,
Shelley

I can't wait to meet Chase!! :) I completely agree, a second opinion may be worth the effort, even if all it does is give you a little peace. If Dr. Kanter is a good dr, then he definitely wouldn't mind another opinion. Shower that sweet baby with kisses, hope to see you soon! Love, Mae
