So today Memphis lost about 400 grams. His xray has shown a little air in his left lung, which means that his body has started moving the fluid in his chest. His ventilator has been turned down a little also. All in all he is doing very well right now. They placed a feeding tube in his nose last night. At around 1:15 he received his very first liquids. They gave him 5cc of pedialyte. Now we just wait and see how his body reacts to it. They expect reflux, but how much reflux will there be is the question. He is scheduled to get 5 every 3 hours right now, and after about 12 hours they will probably change him over to breast milk.
No urine today, but hopefully all of this will help that along too. They are going to change out the dialysis machine tomorrow.
