Luke was able to have another good night last night. His lab scores came back the best they have been so far, great news. However his hemoglobin is getting a little low, which was expected. This being due to his size and that he isn't producing enough red blood cells for all the testing they are doing. So most likely tomorrow he will receive his first blood transfusion. So hope all goes well there. They are also watching his belly right now. It seems to be a little bloated. It was measured earlier today at 16, however right before Jonathin and I left him for the night it was down to 15 1/2 which is good. Also it was feeling a little more soft. The reason for the concern is there is air in his belly that could cause a small hole in his intestines which could then lead to infection. The larger issue is that if this does occur, we will have to be sent else where due to there not being a surgeon here at this hospital for that procedure. So praying that the belly continues to go down with the suction that is being done at this time. Other than that his day was pretty uneventful, until finally tonight he was able to sport his new IU hat that was specially made for him. Shawna that works with my Aunt Pam was able to make him his first special hat to show off to all the girls. However, Jonathin is already putting in an order for a Notre Dame hat and maybe a Purdue just to keep things even. So I made sure to add that photo for tonights posting.
