Sunday, during the day, has us learning that Charlie - first out, smaller - needs antibiotics. The only symptom we know of is lowering blood pressure, but a broad range of antibiotics is common for very small premature babies if there is the slightest suspicion of infection.
We went in to their room around 9pm to say goodnight. There was some fuss going on around Henry's isolette (aka incubator). He was being "bagged" and they couldn't get the ventilator to get enough air into his lungs.
We later learned that Henry had suffered a pulmonary hemorrhage (bleeding in his lung). We also learned that a lot of premature babies die from this.
This would not be the last time that a major event happened when Dr Marvelous was off shift.
