Closed pda - September 30, 2013

Owen had an ECHO on his PDA today.  The preliminary results are that his PDA is closed!  He really likes being on his belly today.  They weened his oxygen and nitric oxide levels alot when he was turned that way, but by evening they had gone back up a little.

His urine output is still very low even on the diuretic.  They are having trouble getting enough in the catheter even.  It is scary how much weight he has gained.  He is up to 4lbs. 3oz. as of 8PM.  We are waiting on an ultrasound of his kidneys and bladder.  This is not the kind of weight gain we needed.  

Praying for:

• lungs to develop quickly
• Swelling to go down quickly
• Better urine output
• Normal or easily fixable results on kidney and bladder
