December 22 – 11 PM NICU Visit

  • Becky and Max got time to interact with Olivia
  • Met Night Nurse and attending doctor who was present at delivery
  • Heart Ultrasound
    • Results showed that Olivia has a small residual duct connecting Aorta to Pulmonary vein
    • This is normal
    • The size of this duct is not concerning
    • Blood is flowing through this duct causing some inflammation
    • Doctors will continue to monitor
    • It’s possible that this is contributing to respiratory issues, but unlikely given the observed rate of blood flow
  • Respiratory therapist was eager to reduce supplemental oxygen rate as safe
