Doing a Little Better!

Hyrum is improving! We thank you all for your faith and prayers. Today, Hyrum was able to go completely off the Dopamine, which was to control his blood pressure. His CRP values are a little less than half of what they were. Conjugated (processed by the liver) and unconjugated (the kind that causes most babies' jaundice) Bilirubin levels are also half of what they were. His respirator settings are a lot lower, including the oxygen percentage they are pumping into him, which has been sitting between 21-25% all day (usually sat around 40%). He is eating 1/3 teaspoon of Laurie's milk every 3 hours, and is able to process most of it. Overall, things are improving greatly! All of the nurses say that he just keeps doing better and better... and it's true - he just keeps getting a little healthier every time we see him. We don't doubt that it is because of everyone's combined faith and prayers for our little Hyrum.
