@ronaldcho Thank you for sharing your story and your kind words. His blood gases improved twice yesterday after ECMO was brought up because his pre and postductal numbers were under 95 on 100% oxygen then had a dip in his PaO2 from 280-something to 66 likely as a result of some of the drugs he’s on that are doing opposite functions. His oxygen is a little under 100% again but his CO2 is now lower than they would like when previously it was too high again bc so many of these drugs are doing opposite functions.
He had a normal head ultrasound a few days ago but I’m sure it will be repeated many times especially since he’s only 6 days old. I’m happy for your little one to be doing well despite their rough start in life - your story brings me hope.
