Oxygen saturation unchanged

Just wanted to update my previous post regarding the blueness we witnessed with Riley's coloring Monday night. Per Dr. Tarnoff's request, I took Riley to Kaiser to check his oxygen saturation today. The numbers haven't changed at all from our January visit--both clocked at 92 percent. So the big question remains as to what caused the blueness.

Also, when Riley was complaining of his upset stomach tonight, Ken asked him to point to where it hurts. Riley pointed to his side, not in front where one typically feels an upset stomach. When asked if it also hurt on the other side, Riley said no. I'm not sure where Riley's liver is because of his heterotaxy, but Dr. Tarnoff's liver theory (see previous post) seems plausible, based on this little experiment.

Hi Guys!
Just sending our love and prayers. I hope that you get to the bottom of things very soon and that Riley will gain some comfort in his belly. Love you all much, Auntie and Stephen
