retest day

They retested the boys in the car beds today. G went first, he did well for the first hour and half then his pulse oxygen level started to dip down but he was able to bring it up and control it. He was able to complete his two hours. C went next and had beautiful vitals for the first hour. He had no issues at all. Then at the hour mark he dipped down for too long with his pulse oxygen level. So he has failed the test.

So now we have one kid getting out tomorrow and one that has to stay. We were really torn on what to do. The medical team really didn't recommend to bring G back to Ronald McDonald house because of the germs. They thought driving him to Durham would be best and then they will call when C is ready and we would come back for him. However, I didn't like that idea. Marcus or I would have to come back up by ourselves to pick him up and I didn't want to have to drive 3 hours by ourself with C. Even if we found someone to ride with us, they would have to get their car to durham first or someone else would have to follow us so they can bring them back. Seemed really difficult. Then we realized that if we can stay locally with friends that might be the best. So Mary and Tim are so awesome and letting us crash at their place while they go to NJ to get married. (We can't thank you all enough!!)

So in the morning we will go over and pick up G and take him to Blacksburg. Then in the evenings one of us will come up with milk and visit with C for a while. Hopefully they will retest C on Thursday or Friday and he will pass this time.
