Memphis has slept for two days straight. This is from all of his medications. One of the effects of the siezure medication phenobarb is sedation. We only lost 20grams last night which isn't enough to mention, But better than nothing at all. That puts Memphis at 11 pounds 1 ounce. Still two pounds to lose before we can start making tremendous progress.
His sodium is slightly on the high side, but still within his range. The nurses are using some plain d5 (whatever that is) whenever they flush him to help with this.
Nurses are still hearing very slight breath sounds. They say the breaths sound squeaky. On a good note, Whenever the nurses try to wheen Memphis from the ECMO machine (lower his flow) his stats seem to get better. A nurse said today she can not explain why that is. Technically the higher the flow on the machine the better his stats should be. Let's hope this trend continues.
Chest x-ray still looks the same.
We will continue to keep you posted.
