Recovery - October 22, 2013


Owen recovered from his extubation attempt nicely.

His lungs still look good.

They are giving him small maintenance doses of the long term sedation and another medicine to continue to help with the liver function.

He is tolerating the breast milk at 6ml per hour.  His stomach may have been a little distended today, but it went way and they plan on going to 8ml per hour continuos feed tonight.

His kidney numbers are improving finally.  He has times when he is peeing good and times when its not too good.  Overall, it is in the range they want to see so far.

He is off of the antibiotics for now.

Praying for:
  • Kidneys to function better
  • Lungs to function better
  • Liver to function better
  • Bones to grow stronger
  • Adrenal glands to work correctly
  • No long term side effects from steroids
  • Recover from the long day
  • Infections to stay away
