Milo's turn around

Yesterday was a great day for Milo. Milo is having a pretty AMAZING day today as well.  A complete turn around from his first day in the NICU. At first he needed 100% oxygen yesterday he was down to 28 (We breathe 21%)! At first his blood pressure was too low and caused co2 to build up to 100% now his bp is in the 50s (perfect for his age) and his co2 is down to 35-44% (perfectly normal range) at first he was put on a catheter because he stopped urinating and yesterday they took it out because he is peeing up a storm. At first he was at a 20 (the max output) for nitric oxide (this is to help keep his lungs open to better receive oxygen) and yesterday he was at a 5. They are going to try and wean him off it completely today. They have also taken him off certain medications for his heart and lowering his dosages of all other meds! It was truly a miraculous day!! Thank you everyone for your support!
