Aida tells me that Ken is the boyfriend of Barbie Doll. That means I may be buying some “Ken” fashion clothes for Marcos once we can dress him, although I doubt we will worry about that for a little while.
Marcos had a good day again. Every four hours they suck out the secretions building up around his breathing tube in his lungs. Today they moved him from the higher tech ventilator to the conventional model which relies on his breathing patterns more than a machine. He handled it for a little while, but then was moved back to the ventilator that helps keep his lungs going. Tomorrow they will try again.
Marcos also made a major weight gain since his birth, but this wasn’t a good sign. He jumped from 710 grams to 840 grams, most, if not all, was water. He will need to excrete this as his kidneys start functioning a little better.
Aida might be released tomorrow, depending on tomorrow morning’s visit with the doctor and her blood pressure. Hospital life hasn’t been too bad, but she is looking forward to getting home.

Aida me dijo que Ken es el novio de la muneca Barbie. Significa que yo deberia comprar alguna ropa de Ken parar vestir a Marcos. Dudo que Marcos vaya a necesitarla muy rapido.
Marcos pasó un buen día otra vez. Cada cuatro horas las enfermeras chupan las secreciones que se juntan cerca al tubo de respiracion que baja a sus pulmones. Hoy también lo cambiaron de ventilador, del de alta tecnologia a uno más convencional que le permite a Marcos respirar un poco por su propia cuenta. Solo estuvo conectado a este por un ratico y lo volvieron a conectar al otro ventilador que casi hace todo el trabajo por sus pulmoncitos. Manana van a tratar de cambiarlo de nuevo a ver como va todo.
Marcos también parece haber ganado algo de peso, lo cual no es realmente una buena senal. Paso de 710 gramos a 840 gramos, y la mayoria de ese nuevo peso es agua, si es que no todo es agua. El necesita eliminar todo ese líquido y lo bueno es que sus rinoncitos están empezando a trabajar mejor.
Aída parece que va a ser dada de alta manana, dependiendo de la visita del medico en la manana y como este su presion arterial y la cicatriz de la cesarea. La vida en el hospital no ha sido tan mala, pero ella ya tiene ganas de estar en casa.
