SOMEONE who shall remain nameless, pleaded for an update... LOL. So here you go.
The plan is still for Sunday's homecoming. Things are going well except for the poor weight gain which is still a minor problem.... he is eating well, just not gaining like he should. Perhaps once he gets home in a normal environment, this will change... we'll see. His bilirubin has gone down considerably,so they took him off the two meds for his liver. They are doing his electrolytes again today (sodium, potassium, chloride and C02) to see what his sodium and potassium are doing. They were getting low the last time and they may need to put him back on those meds because of the diuretics. Low sodium can restrict weight gain as well. Oxygen got here yesterday so we are all set with that. There is a lot for the hospital to set up before he comes home, but I think we almost have it all done.
He gets his 4 month old immunizations today. It is good to get those over with while he is still there! He should be done being cranky by the time he comes home. We will let you know for sure on Sunday if he comes home! Love to you all.
