In BBCH

Noah has been moved up to Barbara Bush Childrens Hospital. He is doing better breathing wise and is only requiring 1/2liter of O2 to keep his stats up about 93%. He is very sleepy and we were very worried about this. While still in the PICU they ran a EEG to make sure he wasnt siezing continuously and the EEG came back fine. PHEW!!! So we are staying overnight for at least tonight to make sure he begins to wake up a little more before bringing him home.
He was still running a temp this morning so I think the tylenol and Ibruprophen could be playing into why he is so sleepy. They are leaning toward this being a viral episode versus a asperation or bacterial phemonia now....
He has been put on steriods to help with the infection but we have to also be careful with these because the steriods could mess with his sugar levels and cause him to come out of ketosis for his ketogenic diet. So they tested him blood levels today and said it looked ok and they will test again on thursday to make sure that this hasnt happened. Dr tonight said their objective is to try and only keep him on the steriods for 3 days and then take him off. Keep our fingers crossed that helping him with his respitory illness doesnt mess with his siezure and ketogenic diet.
Well thats it for now. They are keeping a close eye on him and we hope that he begins to be himself soon so that we can be home soon. But good news is we are one step closer because we are finally out of the PICU!
