Saturday Update 8-25-12

I am sorry we are a little behind!  This will be a quick update on how Saturday went and the I will update you on how today went. :)

Morning Check-In
-weighed in at 2 lbs 1 oz
-30% oxygen
-Amplitude is at 18
-Mean Pressure was at 9.5

Dr. Bonner called to give me an update
-She said they were going to continue his 1 CC of formula every 6 hours
-X-Ray was looking better than the last few days
-They were going to change him to another diuretic that wasn't as strong
-Dr. Bonner talked with me about his weight and told me not to really worry about what it was from day to day and look at more of what it was each week to see if we were moving in a positive direction.

Daytime Visit
I went up for a visit and took my best friend since high school, Robin, so she could officially meet Colby and we had a nice visit.  Colby behaved himself for the most part while we were there and he opened his eye and peeked at Ms. Robin. :)

Evening Check-Up
Things were pretty similar throughout the day with his ventilator settings.  Brandy (Colby's evening nurse) did let Jason know that they had done a blood gas and his pH levels were a little low so they were giving him some blood.  He weighed 2 lbs 2 oz (but he only gained 10 grams more than last night...just the way the numbers rounded out to change it from 1 oz to 2 oz...)
