Kyle is off pretty much all of the medications and they are starting to wean him off the oxygen. They have him down to 1 liter of oxygen and we'll see how well he does on that.
The pulmonologist has mentioned the possibility of giving Kyle a prescription for an oral steroid for use if he gets like this again so that he gets it immediately rather than having to go through the ER process first. The hope is that if he gets the steroid right away, there won't be as much damage to undo.
The cardiologist mentioned the possibility of starting him back on daily cardiac medications. His heart is okay now but the continuous stress on the heart from all the lung issues may cause problems in the long run so he may need the medications as a preventative measure.
Meanwhile, I got a call from the head echo tech and I have an interview scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. Yay!
Welcome...
This is the continuing story of our family since Kyle came home from the NICU. To see how it all began, please visit our Twinspiration blog.
