So here is the information I have received for today:

No results have been given for the CT scan. I should get those tomorrow.

There has been nothing said about Memphis' liver either. The TPN has been taken away completely; now he is receiving 60cc of breast milk every 3 hours as well as some clear fluids filled with the extras he needs. Memphis' full feed is 80cc every 3 hours. We are very close.

For the kidneys and the high blood pressure, Memphis has been put on Enalapril, a blood pressure medicine. The renial doctors have also requested lab work be done in the morning.

We started methadone at 8pm and the fentanyl had been taken away completely. The only sedation type medicine Memphis is still on is Ativan which he gets every 6 hours. Memphis is also still on phenobarbitol, but he will probably go home on this because of the siezurs he had while on ECMO.

  1. He is being a pro at feeding!! So many times we have lots of set backs and CDH babies have trouble making it up to 60 that quickly. I am thinking of you guys. You are such wonderful parents and such a beautiful family.
