Unfortunately Nolan did not get to feeling better :-(

He has a lot of stuff going on at one time and the hospital is really the best place for him to be right now...

I'm still waiting on some test results but his g-tube site doesn't look good.  It's a little infected...
His oxygen has continued to drop in between breathing treatments.(He's currently on 2 liters of oxygen around the clock.) He has a possibility of an infection going on somewhere in his body and He's also having a lot of stomach problems.

One good praise is his chest x-ray looked good!
I don't always give those a lot of credit because all Nolan's chest x-rays have looked great in the past. It was the CT scan's with contrast that picked up on his infections, but I'll take a little good news ;-)

Another thing to add is all his counts are low.  He's getting two units of blood and he has to temporarily stop chemo in hopes his ANC will go back up.  I was shocked that his hemoglobin was 6 today and he just got blood a week ago?  I don't think this is right...We need to figure out why Nolan's counts keep dropping so often.  

The pulmonologist wants to wait and see how the blood perks Nolan up.  Since hemoglobin helps supply your bodies oxygen, They are hoping his oxygen will look better tomorrow.  If things aren't looking better he might order a CT scan of Nolan's chest and another sleep study.

Thank you everyone for your continued prayers and support!
