19 days old!
Ryan is back under the bili lights because his bilirubin level went back up again yesterday. He started receiving breathing treatments yesterday, and he seems to respond well to them. Yesterday his oxygen needs were about 56% or higher for most of the day, and for some reason his oxygen saturation remained in the low 80s most of the time. They did not adjust any ventilator settings other than the amount of O2 delivered. He had his brain scan yesterday, but we don't know the results yet. Last evening the doctor said Ryan's urine output was decreased, so he was given some lasix. The doctor explained that decreased urine output is not something they like to see, but it is something that can happen. He said the reasons for decreased urine output could be anything from an infection to a number of other problems.
