NICU Day 20

Update 9pm- Alex's oxygen level is up to 62 percent (wrong direction) and he was given blood today for low hemoglobin. 

Mabry - still on the bubble cpap at a 6.   Blood gas was ok this morning, same as yesterday.  Her feedings are being extended to 1 hour instead of 30 minutes and that has helped her heart rate dips happen less often. 

Alex - oxygen is at 55% today which is high but not unexpected because of yesterdays surgery (the eventual goal is 21%). His chest tube is ok with not much drainage coming out (that's good) and his incision from surgery (in his back) seems to be healing ok so far.
