Maks continues to do well on the vapotherm. He even did well when I held him this evening. He was looking a little pale this morning when Dr. Anschutz was doing his rounds, so he ordered a hematocrit. Dr. Anschutz always transfuses if the hematocrit is less than 35. On Monday, Maks' was 38, so I was worried that it had dropped and that he would need blood today. I was so grateful when his labs came back as 41. That means his body is starting to do it on its own!
The Actigall hasn't really helped to bring his bilirubin down, so the doctor also ordered an ultrasound of his abdomen, particularly his liver, to check for a blockage in his bile duct. We don't know the results of that yet, hopefully we will by tomorrow morning. We pray that they are favorable!
