Day 45

We now have two 3 pound babies! Alex weighs 3 pounds 1 oz. and Mabry weighs 3 pounds 1.7 oz. Mabry still coasting along under the "Super Dome". Alex had a good blood gas this morning, carbon dioxide was in the 50's, which I think is the lowest its ever been. Because of this they have lowered his vent rate from 58 to 54. He has had a couple destats to the 80's, but nothing major, he should be 90-95. They are giving him 60% oxygen until he hopefully gets used to the rate change.
