Yesterday Ben had the photo therapy lights removed & so far his level is holding about the same (it went up a little). He also was put in an open crib. But.... we just found out today that there is a new problem. Ben has been occasionally breathing fast. I guess this morning he was breathing fast for longer than normal and they decided to do a chest x-ray. The results showed he has some fluid in his lungs. They then tested to see if their was an infection and there was not. I was told that they usually will also have problems getting oxygen when there is fluid present, but he seems to be doing fine on that part. So they have hooked him up to some air to help him get more air and maybe help dry out his lungs.
We were hoping he would be able to come home this weekend, but probably not likely now. That's all I have for now. Until later.

That poor lil guy, he's had a crappy start. I hope he comes home maybe even still this Sunday. And then life best hand him a packet full of luck cause he's done more then his share of problems.
Jeez! The poor kid can't catch a break! Hopefully the majority of his health problems will just be here in the beginning, and he'll be healthy as a horse when he is older.
Poor lil' guy- we'll keep praying for him.
Well...bless his little heart! He having more than his share of problems early on. Will keep praying...how are the 3 of you doing? Hope he can come home soon.
