This morning, Gabriel had less tachycardia than in previous days.
The physiotherapist we brought in from outside the hospital came for a session. Afterwards, Gabriel was really calmed down and breathing well. It’s great to see!
As far as I know (Manu is in hospital during the day and I am at night), the rest of the day was stable, although Gabriel cried a lot.
This evening, he underwent a cardiac echodoppler to check that his heart is functioning properly and that he has no pulmonary hypertension: all is normal. He simply has a patent foramen ovale, a small hole normally present in the fetus (it allows blood to pass directly from the right atrium to the left, as the lungs are not yet functioning in utero). This hole should close naturally over time.
There was also a bit of stress this evening: after a shift change, nobody could find their Spiriva medication. Fortunately, the problem was quickly solved!
