There's really not much to report for today. Apparently David was quite fluid positive yesterday. So much that I almost suspect an error in the reporting. In any case, since his kidneys are still holding at a very good position, his diuretics were increased again. David's been receiving IV diuretics for a couple weeks now … Continue reading June 5, 2024

Well, today the doctor decided to order the respiratory virus panel test. That was an intense few hours of our lives. As soon as they tested him, David had to be in isolation. This means our family is pretty much confined to his room - with the biggest issues being no End Zone and no … Continue reading June 3, 2024

In some ways, being in the hospital is a time warp. Some days you wonder where the last 3 hours went, and other days you wonder if there is an end in sight.

Today much of the excitement did not occur in David's room - but rather outside of his window. We had just finished rounding on David (I think around 9) and had not yet dispersed when the lights (well, actually everything) went out. The nurses remained calm and sprang into action to check on anyone who … Continue reading May 20, 2024

t's hard to say how David is doing - he still fusses quite a bit when he's not moving around in his wagon. However, it's hard to know if he's uncomfortable about something or just expressing his dislike for his helmet. He seemed to enjoy his mama roo this morning. After enjoying those swings for … Continue reading May 17, 2024

Another day of discomfort for David. At least the morning was. I was hoping that being NPO and then getting 2ml of straight milk with no fortification would help. However, this morning, he was just as uncomfortable as yesterday. I don't think even his ativan helped. However, I think it was because his potassium supplement … Continue reading May 8, 2024
