Two weeks old!

Brody is two weeks old today! That went fast. It has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, but he is stable and growing. He had a restless evening last night. He is retaining fluid from a combination of his heart medicine and the blood transfusion. They are adding calcium to his feedings because it was low, and they are watching his protein levels, which are on the low end of the acceptable range. He is getting diuretics to help his kidneys get rid of the fluid that is building up. The doctor and nurse could not hear his murmur this morning. Hopefully it is closed for good. Happy two week birthday, Brody boy!
