5215 grams today, that's down 165 grams from yesterday. This is important again due to him being taken off of the dialysis machine. He still isnt back on dialysis but it may still be in the near future. He has had some urine output last night, which is great!
All of his saturation numbers are still lower than what they need to be, but the nurses tell us that this is not atypical. They are still going up on his sweep numbers (co2) but once again this is normal. The doctors are now talking about steroids to try and help him along. Hopefully this will get him working a little better by himself and allow them to turn the pump numbers down. We havent talked to anyone about the risks involved with steroids and such, but hopefully the risks will be minimal.
His X-rays look about the same, we are told. Haven't had a chance to look at them yet though.
The nurse told us today that he was awake all last night. Awake and aggravated, even through the sedation. She feels like that maybe he has his sleep pattern backwards. This is gonna be wonderful when he is finally able to get home, always something to look forward to. Mommy is going to have to change her sleep pattern too. :)
Mom and dad both are feeling the long hours of stress. Between pimples, back aches, head aches, and everything else between, it's been a bumpy ride.
