PDA not yet closed 2.11.13


Ari's PDA has opened a little bit from where it was at (it was previously barely open). The doctors are going to give him Tylenol to close it. I found this study online in bold below so I am hoping that it closes. He is around 2 lbs 5 oz now and he is getting 19ml of breast milk. I asked the doctor about getting the RSV Synogis shots to protect him from getting a cold also known as RSV because if he were to get it, he could die and they said that is a good idea and he would qualify for it so some stress has been lifted on that end.5 preterm infants (gestational age: 26-32 weeks) with large PDAs who failed, or had contraindications to ibuprofen therapy were given off-label oral Tylenol (15mg/kg/dose every six hours). Ductal closure occurred in all treated infants within 48 hours. No toxicity was observed.I found this information regarding the Synogis shots for RSV online as well.https://www.synagis.com/
