Will had a great night. He is up to 1lb 5oz or 590 grams. He did gain a lot of grams over night but the doctors are cautiously watching it for tonight. He is not supposed to gain that much overnight. He did have a blood transfusion and a medication called lasix. Lasix will make you retain fluid so that could be something that has caused the weight gain. They are beginning to bring him down and wein him back off of the ventilator sometime this week. All blood work has checked out normal. The infection was not in his blood but found on the ventilator tube that was down his throat and attached to his lungs. They are still treating him with antibiotics until probably Tuesday. He is still getting 11 mls of milk. I got to change his diaper for the first time today. He has had a fabulous nurse Cheryll this weekend who has allowed me to be more hands on with him and actually make me feel like his momma. I've enjoyed the weekend with him.
