Molly is still on Cpap! Overnight her CO2 started to creep up. At 6am it was really high at 88. They made some setting adjustments, did another gas at 8:30, and co2 was 64! So, she is hanging in there. Dr. Lucena is going to extend her steroid course to give her the greatest chance of staying on Cpap. She won't get another gas until 8pm unless she is showing signs that she is working harder to breathe.
In other news, Molly's platelet level has nearly doubled over the past few days and her white blood count is perfect. Her liver enzymes are up and her liver is enlarged. But that should get better once she receives all of her nutrition from breast milk.
Thank you to everyone for the prayers. Please continue to pray for Molly and that she has a great day! Thank you!
