Bumpy Morning

Braden is having a bumpy morning. His blood pressure has dipped rather low again and it's also starting to clot. His nurses are having trouble doing his gases because his blood clots before they can get done. His gases are a thorough assessment of his bodily functions, nutrient levels, etc. We are hoping that it is easily treatable. Annie is taking a half day at work and will be at Baylor this afternoon.

The good news is that Braden's infection is slowly starting to heal. He is down to 1 antibiotic and hopefully he will be placed on formula again today. Braden now weighs 2 pounds 5 ounces. He has actually gained weight since being off formula! What a great sign. Frankly, I think it might be a genetic thing...we all seem to gain weight no matter how hard we try to take it off! :)

Braden turned 1 month old yesterday and he received many wonderful gifts from so many people. Newborns in Need sent him a matching set of handmade hats, clothing and blankets. We've attached a photo to share those gifts with you. Thank you for thinking of him!
