Update on baby Noah

Thank you all for your prayers and concerns. My friend is putting up this update for me, since the hospital computer thinks this is a "dating" service. Noah is stable and has been moved to a room for stable babies. We don't know much more than we did before and hope to have more information later after we get a plan of care from his doctor. They have repeated the ultrasound of his heart and kidneys, and as far as we understand they have come back fine. Yesterday the did an ultrasound of his brain and further renal studies. His blood pressure is still high, and he is getting medication for that. They would like to find the reason for the blood pressure being high and think that his kidneys may have some sort of blockage which is confusing his body into making his pressure higher. His high red blood cell count is still a concern, and I'm not sure what his platlet level is. I will try to udate later. Rick and I are staying at the Ronald McDonald house and the kids are with Maureen.
