Heidi and Karen are shown here gathering sweat for Trey's Cystic Fibrosis screening. Trey is always warm, just like his daddy, so they didn't have any trouble collecting sweat. Karen said she had never seen the collection pad so absorbed - it even ripped in half because it was so wet! The test results came back negative so we can check this off the list of 'maybes'.
The focus over the past few days has been to transition Trey from a pain medication administered through IV to a oral pain medication. Trey is having some trouble with the transition so he didn't feel so well today. By evening he had settled down though and he seems to finally be comfortable. Once he is comfortable on the oral medication the doctors plan to lower the vent settings again - they are hoping for Monday.
Stella is getting to be such a big girl! We spend a lot of time at the hospital with Trey but we do as much playing as we can when we are at our room at the Ronald McDonald House!
P.S. Trey gained another ounce yesterday!
