Today, Brody weighs 4 lbs., 15 oz.! He didn't gain 5 oz. overnight. The weight on yesterday's post was a day or two old. Anyway, he is very close to 5 pounds!
His oxygen needs have stayed the same for quite some time now, and he hasn't been weaning further from the high flow cannula. His Albumin (sp?) level is low, which causes fluids to leak out of cells and then the body (including lungs) retains water. To help him with this, he is getting Albumin and Lasiks starting today for three days. Hopefully this will help him get better!
