Word about Metabolic test
We just talked to a few of the doctors one being the Metabolic specialist. The newborn screen came back negative which means that he is not having problems breaking down a type of fat which can effect his metabolism. They are still waiting for the more specific test to come back which will give us a better idea of which metabolic area he might be having problems.
They are concerned because his echo cardiogram this morning came back at 35% which means it has gone down a little since he first got here. This could be due to a metabolic problem that is causing his heart to not work at 100% which they are continuing to look at. It could also be due to the fact that he has been taken off of so many artificial support devices in such a short ammount of time. His heart medicines were completely removed but now that put one back on and his lungs have recently had to do alot of work. All of these changes can effec the heart for a short while. We are praying that this number will begin to rise as he is supporting himself a majority of the time.
