Update- 3pm - Alex received a new chest tube to better fit his airway (1/2 centimeter larger). This was an uncomfortable procedure for Alex but he handled it well. The tube was placed on the second attempt and he had a chest xray to confirm that the placement was good (the xray will be read soon). His oxygen level is at 60%. They have also decided to give him another blood transfusion due to red blood cell counts being a little low.
update - Mabry is has had a few heart rate drops but has been able to recover without much stimulation.
Alex is staying at 62% oxygen and has been given some blood to help with his heart rate drops.
The NICU is being remodeled so Alex and Mabry will be moved to new rooms (next door to each other) but unfortunately they will not be in the same room. This move will probably take place today or tomorrow.
Prayers constantly for all.
