Archer's received the gift of blood again today. The doctor stated that he would like to keep the blood supply up more often to make sure that he is as stable as possible.
Archer's blood pressure levels have been great. He was able to wean off quite a bit of the dopamine today. Just a little more to go and he will hopefully no longer need to be on this medication. Or, he could take so little of this medication that it may be possible to start the milk feedings again.
Archer's oxygen levels have not been so good as of late. When Mom and Dad left today, his oxygen levels were at 88%. A late night call to the NICU by Dad revealed that the nurses had retaped the tube around his cheeks, repositioned it a little, and in just a few hours were able to wean him all the way down to 72%!
