10.9.10 (Day 2)

Tristina was moved to a private recovery room where friends and family prayed and gave much needed emotional support. Asher continued to be under 24 hour one on one care, due to the severity of his condition. The PPHN remained unstable and he was kept on the ventilator with 100% oxygen due to low saturation levels. Test showed that the infection in the lungs was getting worse. He continued on the antibiotic that was given at admission, pending further tests. He was given a second blood pressure medicine to help elevate the pressure in his body and to dilate the vessels in an attempt to lower the pressure in the heart/lungs. Also, a second sedation medicine was added due to his ability to resist the first one alone. Phototherapy was started to treat rising levels of T-Bili (Jaundice).
