Good Morning.
We are getting off to a slow start today. I just spoke to the nurse and everything is looking good. They had him under the lights again yesterday, but they took them off this morning because his bilirubin went down to 1.7 when they checked it and they are going to check him again tomorrow morning. The nurse practitioner also decided to up his feedings to 1 ml every 3 hours instead of every 6 hours, so that should help with just about everything. They are also going to talk about reducing his dopamine drip because his urine output and kidney function are doing much better. They are really trying to cut back on the number of blood samples they have to take because he really does not like it and they don't want to have to give him to many blood transfusions. So it's looking pretty good today. I'm not sure if we're going to make it down there today because Daddy is coming down with something and we don't want to risk tracking it in there since Bryton is so prone to infection right now. Not to mention transportation is really tricky on weekends so we might work on just making sure we stay at the hospital when we know it's going to be like this and yesterday was a very long day for both of us and we could really use some time to get our feet on the ground. I'll be calling his nurse pretty frequently so I'll do my best to update as much as possible.

Hi you all. Left a message earlier, but it did not go through.
Get rest, get well and be there when you can do the most good, and oh yes clean your room.
