Day 5: Mom's Discharge Day
4am check in
A great night for James. He gained weight. Now up to 626g from 530g - water weight so it will decrease.
CO2 levels are good
FIO2 is good 52%
25 ML diaper shows good urine output
And they removed his hat - why?
Jimmy has not moved his bowel yet. But he’s been urinating well. Last night he had 25 ML in is diaper.
Right now, his oscillator for FIO2 is set to 47%, which is down from 80%. Lots of progress here.
He’s gained 100 grams in weight since birth. Which is also progress. Weighing in at 626g now.
10a with Dr P:
blood pressure is good - ready to go down on dopamine
Up on food to 3 ML every 3 hours (24 ML daily)
Urine output improved
Urine protein study is inconclusive at the moment
Ultrasounds looked good around head
Ultrasound of heart showed PPHN - normal for his age - PDA and PFO - nothing to be concerned with
Updated Results from BMP:
kidney function is improving with urinating.
FIO2 back down to 38%
After 1p - Lindsay got discharged. We got Jimmy’s birth certificate (it’s official!). All his vitals were good and got read his first books today. We read Inch by Inch with the earthworm and Two Magic Words with Winnie the Pooh.
We attempted calling the SSI, spoke to a rude man, sat on hold for an hour, and got no resolve. We checked in to the embassy for our night’s stay (to avoid the stairs in our townhome). We ordered Thai food to the room, compliments of the Nisbet’s Doordash gift card. Lindsay pumped her best today reaching approx 100 ML for the day.
We will relax tonight and start up again tomorrow, attempting to establish some sort of routine.
