Jude was doing really well this past week until yesterday afternoon. He looked like he was close to getting off the oxygen yesterday morning, but by last night he was in a completely different state. His oxygen flow was at 1/4 liter (the lowest flow) yesterday afternoon, but had to be turned up to 1 liter last night. His oxygen percentage had been at 21 % to 25%, but also had to be turned way up. So far there is no sign of infection, his chest x-ray looked pretty good (his lungs were a bit under expanded), and his blood gases are good. He's just not feeling well and we don't know why. It's possible that he was working so hard to keep up with the lack of support he was getting when his flow and O2 were weaned this week and he finally just pooped out, but we're just not sure. The doctor has made some changes for the weekend that will hopefully allow him to rest and recover.
He had been doing so well that we were hopeful he'd be home soon, but now we're not sure. Hopefully he recovers soon.
C'mon Jude, your sister misses you and we want you home!
Hazel's doing pretty well. The home oxygen is a royal pain and I think we'll have to have celebration when it's out of here!
Hazel had her first bath at home yesterday. She wasn't a big fan, but she sure did smell good afterwards!
We had a little "Welcome Home, Hazel" party last night so she could meet some of our friends.

I can't believe how big she has grown! You two must be so happy to have Hazel home. Jude is in our thoughts and we hope he can go home very soon.
