Essentially, after rounds today, everything is the same. Our number one priority is to get him to gain weight. His weight was up one ounce last night to 6 lbs 3 oz. That is the goal and so we are trying to help him have the least amount of work possible so he can gain some chub! Ventilation is the same. Once they figure out the situation with his liver, a possibility is to add olive oil to help fatten him up. :) I love it:eating olive oil! They are considering another diuretic that will help with the calcium in his urine and continuing lasix (his other diuretic). The neonatologist would rather have him on the dry side due to his lungs, but they are watching that closely. Other than that, Carson gets to eat, eat, eat, and rest and that is all he has to worry about.
Kellen is doing great. We hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
