Update

Kyle had another x-ray this morning and they say it looks like he's developing pneumonia. They've started him on steroids for his lungs, Lasix (the diuretic medication - not the vision correction surgery) and also milrinone (a heart medication) to help with the extra workload his heart is dealing with right now. His heart rate is hanging in the 190's. His respiratory rate is hangingg around the 90's but his O2 sats are only at 92%. He's still retracting pretty bad and the continuous Albuterol treatment doesn't seem to be helping so they're putting him on a C-PAP mask for oxygen. They've been taking all kinds of bloodwork and such. He's not a happy camper.
