Ian remains very swollen today at a whopping 5lb 2oz. His blood pressure was running lower than it should be today and his urine output had decreased alot so they put him back on the dopamine which will increase his blood pressure and also increase kidney function. His blood gasses fell out of normal today and so the ventilator settings now had to be increased a bit. Overall, he's still stable and still moving around. He's so swollen still that he is a lil chunk and he looks so sturdy i just wanna pick him up and cradle him in my arms. I can't wait for them to get the swelling off and get him better so he can feel better and go "home" to our regular nicu. Here's a pic of him from today....This is after getting about 1 1/2 pounds of fluid off him (they had gotten over 2pounds off but he gained back 1/2 pound overnight.
