Good morning all! Yesterday's PICC line was successful. Oliver's platelet level dropped to 5,000 yesterday evening...so he got another platelet transfusion around 10:30 and when we go in for rounds this morning we should hear the results of that count.
Oliver was visited by a bio chemical geneticist yesterday who went over our family history to look for any disorders of the major organs or blood. We were also visited by the infectious disease team to see if there is anything I may have been exposed to during pregnancy that could have been passed on to Oliver. The hematologist also came to see us-her interest was in blood disorders in our family and questions about Oliver's medical history. The team of Dr.'s working to help little Oliver is growing! Every one had lots of questions, but so far no one has had any answers. Every team involved has tests out that should be rolling in Thursday thru Monday...I hope we are close!
On another note, Oliver is eating freely now-allowed to have as much formula as he wants! Yesterday at 9:00 he ate 51ml...his biggest meal yet! He is still on formula, but at rounds yesterday we began talking about switching him back to breast milk. The GI specialist has to ok that, and he's still waiting for a test result before making that decision.
We held Oliver for hours yesterday...and it went so quickly! We are off to meet Oliver's Dr.'s for rounds and visit our sweet boy-I will keep everyone posted!
Love and blessings!!!
