Today went well. Two and a half hours ago we came to visit and sit with the baby a little. The nurse informed us then that his potassium output isn't great. They would like to see more urine coming from him, especially since they gave him milk a few times today. We saw the baby had pished a little, and the doctor came in and saw the 15cc's and said: "good, לאט לאט". Meaning: "Good, slowly but surely." We left in a good mood, happy to go light candles and eat dinner.
We came back and asked the nurse how he's doing. She responded: "No pee pee", and it was a very disappointed tone.
Uh oh.
If he doesn't produce enough urine, he certainly won't be ready to come off the respirator tomorrow, and I don't want to think what else that might mean.
We sat down and started saying tehillim some more.
I put on some music for the baby to listen to and decided to blog this update.
Please keep davening for him. Thank you.
Update: The nurse just came in and said: "Its ok. His numbers are very good, and its not unusual for a baby in his condition, considering the pressure on his heart, to have a hard time with output. We just need more patience."
Life is a roller coaster ride. In the ICU, its a roller coaster ride, during an earthquake, in a hurricane.
