Today we were told that Gabe's oxy level dropped to 70% which worried the docs abit. Therefore they had to increase his oxygen support to 100% and give him nitric gas plus albumin. Gave me a scare when i heard that. Please please remain stable baby, dun scare Mummy like that.
His bloody stool has stopped as of now, we hope it remains that way otherwise they may have to postpone the surgery, in case complications occur during the op. And we still do not know exactly why he has bloody stool. But Dr H did mention that a possibility may be that when they tested his blood, they found that Gabe's red blood concentration was high. This is due to the body's natural reaction to increase red blood cells to bring more oxy to his body. But perhaps there was too much and it had to be expelled. Possible reason, but no confirmation:(
right now, the surgery is scheduled to be on Sunday 5th Feb. We will be briefed by the surgeon tomorrow at 12pm.
Oh baby boy, please stay strong and stable, just awhile more ok..then you'll get better and we can go home.
It's just so hard to see him all hooked up to the tubes and machine again. Especially after having him everyday the past months, seeing his cheerful smiles. Waking up every morning and going to bed every night seeing him not in his crib is heartbreaking and Terry and I both miss him so much.
Such a spirited and happy baby, now lying there without us to hold him...
Oh, no, as if Gabe hasn't been through enough already! But he has shown that he's tough, much stronger than many thought possible, so I'm sure he'll pull through again. You're all in my thoughts and prayers, take care and I'll be praying hard that everything will go smoothly and Gabe will soon be safely home with you again.
