They are continuing with the extra potassium, phosphate, and calcium, but they cut his sodium out. We thought he might be running a fever, but things are back to normal hopefully. They had to remove the art line ( a catheter in the artery for taking blood samples and measuring real time blood pressure). They may put another one in on the other arm if he starts needing to get more blood samples or if his blood pressure isn't stable.
The lungs are still not full of enough air sacs and there is still too much fluid. Moving him side to side, and getting rid of some edema should slowly help with this.
They are still hoping to try feeding him some breast milk in the next couple of days. We also learned that Amy may get to hold him for the first time tomorrow night!
Praying for:
- Kidneys to function properly
- Lungs to develop
- Antibiotics to kill infections
- Continued urine output
- Digestive system development
- Breast milk feeding to be successful
