Yesterday I wrote that Josiah's sats (saturation levels) were at 51 when I walked in his room and a team of people were working on him. I didn't think to ask how low they had gone. During rounds, I heard the nurse say that the most significant problem was Josiah's "profound desats" and she said that he'd gone down to 29 and they had a hard time getting him back up. I recall the staff physician saying after his surgery that she would tolerate him in the 60s but not lower.
Apart from the desat episodes his sats were mainly in the 70s yesterday. By the time I came back in the evening his heart rate was no longer tachycardic as it had been for much of the day. Either a change in his meds and/or cooling off his body may have helped. He is one puffy boy due to all the fluids that have been given to him.
My mom and sister-in-law came to visit yesterday evening. They both stayed with Josiah and sang songs to him while I pumped. It was great to see them. I spoke with Josiah's nurse this morning and she said he had a relatively stable night with tweaking here and there.
I'm looking forward to seeing Graham and Isaac in a few hours. Thanks so much for your prayers!
Blessings,
Elizabeth
