Update on Michael

Michael last night sleeping after nursing

Michael is doing very well. Last night they started weaning him off the oxygen to see how he does. They started at 80%, then down to 60% and he did extremely well, so this morning they took him off completely.

He is continuing to do very well without the oxygen, breathing entirely on his own with no desats! They will download the monitor data from the last two days with him on oxygen and then compare it with the next few days with him off from it. If all goes well, and his desats stop, then they will talk about sending him home. But, for now they aren't talking about sending him home until they absolutely know his desats have stopped.

After his stay at St. Joseph's, we are most likely going to get a second opinion, probably be at University Children's Hospital, on Michael's condition. Better to be safe than sorry.

Below are some more pics I took with my camera phone last night:
