It's Wednesday night and the boys are doing good.  Jackson has been good on his blood pressure the last couple of days (yay).  His heart rate has been in the normal ranges except when he gets messed with, that boy can throw a fit!  He got a dose of lasix today to help with getting the fluid off his body.  The infectious disease doctor came by today and Jackson will be done with his antibiotics in four days.  His creatinine level was good this morning but his albumin levels were still low, so the doctors are still working on getting that up. The doctors believe once his albumin levels are normal he will stop retaining fluid. He was on a lower percentage of oxygen for most of the day today.  Colton had a good day too.  His nurse worked on getting his oxygen down and he was at 28 percent most of the day.  The doctor went up on his feeding amount he didn't tolerate it well. He had to much output from his ostomy, so he went back down to the amount he was at before. While we were visiting Tabitha was changing his diaper he decided to pee on EVERYTHING! The sheets, his snugglie, his clothes, his socks, his blood pressure cuff, his frog sandbag, and his mommy all got it! So he made a lot of laundry for mommy tonight but she doesn't mind. We asked the doctor if he knew when they plan to reverse his ostomy and he is going to talk to the surgeon tomorrow. That's about it for today and we pray for the improvements to keep on coming.
