Gained 355 grams last night.
The doctors came by last night and informed us that due to the length of time he has been on ECMO and his kidney numbers, they are planning on putting him on dialysis today. The kidney doctors will come by soon and check his levels and discuss it with the surgeons. If they feel that it would be beneficial, then they will start it. Dr. Anderson says that the machine will run continuously which is better for the kidneysn and hopefully it will only last a few days.
His numbers are good though. The pump has been weened way down at the moment and his saturation numbers have been riding around the upper 90s. So that is great.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you!
