Moving to the PICU

The ICU doctor came and when he saw Toby said they needed to be moved to the ICU. Since going down there Toby's breathing became worse and he was having a lot of apnea episodes. He was put on C-PAP (which provides a constant flow of air into his nose to support his breathing). Since being put on C-PAP, he has perked up a bit and is sucking on his pacifier again.
The doctors have been doing a lot of tests on his blood and have found out that his sodium levels are low. They will start him on a saline solution. Toby will also have a PICC line put in for precautionary antibiotics. An EEG will probably be done to make sure there is no seizure activity going on that they don't know about.
This is all I know at this point. I hope to finish my conversation with Carrie when she gets a moment and then I will update the webpage again. Thank you so much for praying! It means a lot to them!
