SAM's HORMONE

At 14 April, doctor did another blood test on Sam.His liver panel test show the liver function remains good. While his tyroid ( they test TSH & tyroxine,free ) the growth hormone has become normal . What a good news ! Doctors now increase again his feeding up to 920 ml per day.
 
At hospital they also want to see whether Sam can tolerate breathing without BIPAP machine & even without oxigen.Doctor put him off machines and watch.Well, guess... he still smile and playful after several minutes.His saturation-Oxigen level is swinging up and down as Sam is adjust his breathing but mostly above 93 % which is good. Looks like we are on the right track now. Praise God ! So,we continue practising and weaning him off the machines and even oxygen
