They're doing some tests on Matthew because they noticed he's been having higher blood pressure readings. This can be related to kidney function (although there are no other indications thus far of kidney problems), so they're looking at that first. We'll probably know more after talking to the doctors this afternoon.
James will probably be weaned off the ventilator today. There was some doubt earlier this morning, but apparently the most recent information led the doctors to conclude that he's ready to come off it (although with an extra dose of caffeine to keep his breathing up). This morning's X-ray was about the same as yesterday, with still a small area of pneumatosis. (We were hoping it would be all gone, but the good news is that it's no worse.)
