I haven't updated in a couple of days...Dean is doing great! He is off of all his IV infusions, off of his antibiotics, and they are transitioning him to meds that he can take orally, at home. He is still on a bit of oxygen, should be off of it soon. They are tweaking his diuretics, trying to insure that he doesn't get any more fluids in his lungs, and they are putting some formula powder in the breast milk to try to give him more calories to get him to gain some weight- Two nights ago he was 5lbs 6ozs. We are still waiting for some immunology tests to come back, those should be in later this week. They still can't give us a definitive answer as to why this has happened, but he is much better and improving with all of the steps they have taken here. We hope to have Dean home with us soon, the trips to the hospital have been taking its toll on us.
