Today marks three weeks since we arrived at the hospital.<\/p>\n\n
Gabriel had a relatively stable night. <\/p>\n\n
He is now breathing with his own lungs, supported by a little oxygen via the respiratory machine whose concentration rate has been reduced since yesterday, from 60% to 45%.<\/p>\n\n
This is excellent news, and a great step forward!<\/p>\n\n
Just a week ago, his lungs were still very fragile, to the point that the only possible option had been to place him on ECMO, an artificial breathing system. <\/p>\n\n
Today, the fact that he is starting to breathe on his own again is very encouraging!<\/p>\n\n
For now, we are waiting for the results of the next blood tests and lung x-ray.<\/p>\n\n
Gabriel still shows some signs of jaundice, and his urine remains very dark.<\/p>\n\n
This shows that his liver and kidneys, probably strained by the ECMO, still need time to recover. <\/p>\n\n
This is expected, and the doctors are monitoring everything closely.<\/p>\n\n
The next 48 hours will be important to follow the evolution of his condition. <\/p>\n\n
So… we wait… A quality that we are starting to master well! <\/p>\n\n
\n (Yoda! We’re in your rearview mirror!)<\/em>\n <\/p>\n\n Gabriel will also come out of isolation. <\/p>\n\n He is joining the common area of the intensive care unit, with the other babies. (where he was before the ECMO) <\/p>\n\n He will be placed in bed No. 6.<\/p>\n\n This number has a special value because it’s the one of Dad’s conscripts! <\/p>\n\n A well-known tradition in the Beaujolais region, where his dad grew up.<\/p>\n\n A little wink from fate that makes us smile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 09:44 Today marks three weeks since we arrived at the hospital.
