9 Weeks Old Today








Nicholas is having another good day. His urine output is still great so they stopped the Dopamine. They will see how his output is and if he continues to have a good amount they will keep him off of it. He is still getting Lasix every 12 hours. His feeds are the same, 1 cc per hour. He is still on the oscillator but hopefully he is moving in the right direction and will be taken off of it soon. It seems like they are doing things slowly this time to avoid pushing him and causing him to swell up again. He still has some swelling but it is mostly the upper part of his body and you can really see it in his face. It is amazing to me that he still has extra fluid even though he has been peeing like a champ.

  1. Nicholas looks like he's lovin' Mama's milk. Seems to keep him calmed down and snoozin' so peacefully.....

  2. I agree with Grandad Matthews. Seems like Corinne's milk may be Nicholas' manna from heaven.
