Matt update


Just a small update on Matt, he got weighed on Wednesday and he lost 4g, he is on diaretics to help get rid of fluid on his lungs so they were expecting him to loose some weight but i was happy with only 4g. At the moment he is infection free he has had 2 infections in the last month so it feels like we havent moved forward off the ventalators but they are now starting to wean him off them and he is going ok but still desating his oxygen levels going up and down. This is due to him having immature lungs and his pda duct. I hope i will find out today what is going to happen with his pda duct i think he will need surgery to fix it since the medication didnt fix it and it is effecting him from moving on. So hopefully we will know today.
