We love pee! - October 3, 2013

We didn't know that we could be so excited over 21ml of pee!  Owen finally started peeing again last night!  His kidney numbers are looking a little better now, but still need to improve.
He still put on a little weight, but at least we are moving in the right direction.

Owen's lungs still have fluid built up in them.  They are moving him from side to side to help with this. They also adjusted his ventilator to help with the fluid build up.  His ventilator settings were really stable today.

A veteran neonatologist out of El Paso has asked to be a consultant on little Owen's situation.  Our doctors are very welcoming of this, as he not only their friend, but very knowledgeable and well respected.  We are very thankful for this as well!

Owen is still getting blood products, saline with sodium, the diuretics, and he is now getting some extra potassium.  They have put him back on the paralytic to help the ventilator to work better.

Praying for:

• Kidney function to improve
• Lungs to develop
• Good management of fluids and electrolyts
• Urine output to continue
