Today was a exciting day! We finally got to see our baby boy with his bright eyes open. He was very active today w/ a lot of squirming and moving of his arms. The nurse suggested I buy him some mittens to keep him from pulling on his tubes. He is not a happy boy with those tubes on his face. Who can blame him? Yes, he is still on the ventilator. The docs are waiting for better numbers from his blood gases and a couple of other things. Maybe soon.
He had another round of dialysis today. It went well. They were able to pull off another 400 cc's from him. That is a total of 900 cc's in the last 3 days. That is a lot of fluid!!!! He will have another treatment tomorrow.
The kids went w/ us today. They behaved themselves, thankfully. John and I were both pretty tired. We have friends that have offered to watch them the next couple of days, so that will be nice. I'm going to wrap this up now so I can finally go to bed at a decent hour. Goodnight!!
