Today Gavin gained an ounce. He has a slight case of jaundice. The doctors told us that he is missing a rib, but it is not the top one, like they told us before. This will be better for his posture. They still think he is going to loose one of his kidneys. A brain scan was done today but we have not gotten the results yet. They are going to do a MRI tomorrow, maybe. We are waiting to hear from the cardiologist about his heart condition. At this time they are saying that the aorta is narrow, limiting the blood and oxygen flow to the body and brain. He has a small hole between the right and left side of his heart that they may have to do surgery to repair. Right now they are only giving him protein and vitamins in the I.V. From what I understand, this will allow better oxygen flow. They say his spine is not straight and an orthopedic doctor is going to look at him soon.
