Still Auntie Sarah reporting...
The doctor in Omaha has seen Carter and says that the crazy heartrate stuff is directly related to the Influenza. His nasal passages are swollen, so he isn't getting all the oxygen that he needs, so then the heart slows down. They have him on a little bit of oxygen to help him out. So far so good! The doctor does not feel that he is critical, so though they are keeping him in the PICU for now, they plan on moving him into a regular room soon. So overall, good news!
On the homefront... over the course of the day, all the babies have run low temps. We have been giving them a bit of Tylenol and some Pedialyte. Needless to say, we are all a little freaked that they may "pull a Carter." We are keeping a close eye on them and doing our best while mom and dad are away. Grandma Deb and Great Aunt Christy are on their way to help with the overnight shift with the babies. Grandpa Rick and myself are headed back to Algona when they get here. There are 3 little girls there who think they need their mommy too.
Please continue praying for Carter and the rest of the Malm Family!
Thank you,
Sarah

We are praying for all of you. Wish I could be there to help...but glad you have many around you to help out. Glad Sara is able to keep up with the blog so we know what's going on. Gina
