One week 6 days old - Morning

Written September 14, 2013 9:41am

Good Morning!

Andrew and I made it in time to listen to rounds. I'm starting to think I should have paid more attention in science class when the doctors start talking about electrolytes and x-rays and all the other medical jargon. 

Evan's vent settings are in a good spot. He usually hovers around 26-30% oxygen. His lung X-ray still shows premature lungs but this is to be expected.

Evan still isn't peeing enough. Today's goal is to try to take a urine sample to determine where the problem lies. Analyzing the urine output will help the doctors see if the problem is before the fluids get to the kidneys or if it's at the kidney level. 

The lactation consultant stopped by yesterday. She said I've already filled 4 or 5 bins in the freezer. Not sure how large the bins are but I'm feeling quite successful! :)

Evan decorated for the Bills game tomorrow. Maybe they can give him a win!
