Happy Tuesday

Well, it is a happy Tuesday! Hunter' X-ray looks better this morning, he is starting to hold his own temperature better, and his platelet count was up from last night without having to get platelets. All good news. Although this morning they thought his heart went in to a "flutter" type rhythm, until they were reminded that the CVVH, dialysis, interferes with their monitors. Talk about trying to put mom in to cardiac arrest.

So, overall they feel Hunter is going back in the right direction. He is making urine, despite the fact that they are keeping him pretty much fluid neutral. Tomorrow, they feel his lungs will be even better and they may decide to let him go more fluid positive then. His urine culture remains negative, along with the sputum culture they did two days ago. We are on day 21 of 42 of being on our micofugal antibiotic, so we are officially half way there.

We pray each day that Hunter continues down the right path. We are so blessed. Thank you again for all your love and support. God Bless
