Today brings us scary news again...

Memphis will be getting a routine CT scan sometime today. All CDH babies get one of these once they get threw surgery and start getting better. We will keep you posted with these results.

So, I mentioned yesterday that the bilirubin numbers were getting high and the doctor and nurses are worried about his liver. Well those numbers continued to climb higher. They are going to up his feed to 60cc every 3hours at 11am and sometime today take him completely off TPN and give him some clear fluids. The nurse practitioner has ordered an abdominal ultra sound to take a better look at his liver and kidneys. Memphis' blood pressure has also been very high which is why they are also looking at his kidneys and getting the renial doctors back involved. The nurse practitioner said that his liver numbers should have been getting better as the milk went up and the TPN went down. This has not been the case so there may be something else going on with his liver.

Memphis will also see the OT therapist for oral skills today.

Memphis has a big day ahead of him today. Hopefully we will hear that everything will be alright. I will keep you updated as I know.
