Sleepy Friday

The babies slept this afternoon during the visit. The pressure on the
ventilator was weaned for both of them but Sofia's was increased again
when her oxygen requirement went up. The X-ray showed an area with a
slight collapse on the left side of her lungs and the pressure helps
to keep the lungs more inflated.

Today the doctor changed the strategy on the diuertics, opting for the
lasix which will not cause them to lose as much sodium. Because the
sodium is important for growth, this may help them to maximize their
weight gain. After a few days they will evaluate the effectiveness of
regular lasix and check their electrolytes.
