Is back. I mentioned that we had some small bouts of no peeing but he decided to really kick up his heels and stopped for about 12 hours yesterday. This was followed by the doctors having to throw everything but the kitchen sink in again. Colton had to get high doses of Dopamine both for his kidney profusion and blood pressure. He was having low blood pressure last night. He also required a blood transfusion and was put back on the dreaded Lasix drip. The cherry on top of the sundae is that in the middle of all this he also started having feeding intolerance so they had to drastically reduce his milk intake.
Good news is, he started peeing...a lot. So he is getting rid of all the fluids and did fare pretty well on his vent through all of this. We just have the long and windy road ahead now of weaning back off all these drugs that took so long to get off of in the first place. Oh and poor little baby had to get two IV's in his head last night for all the drugs...maybe he should be Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer for Halloween? He's already got the antlers covered. OK, I needed some humor here people. :)
