Well this is an older picture but since we didn’t take pictures of him today I’m going with this one. I’m to tired to put up a fight against all those who insist on having a picture, and aside from being blurry this is a great one. So we went to the Dr’s this morning and got labs drawn. It took much longer than I anticipated. I didn’t get into the office till a little after 10! Crazy since our appointment was for 8:50 and all we were doing was having blood drawn and touching base with our pediatrician. So right now the plan is to have labs done twice a week. Greyson was puffy last night and hadn’t peed in about 6 hours so we had to give him a dose of lasix. That seemed to help and he has been peeing OK today.
He had a rough night and didn’t sleep well at all, probably due to discomfort from the kidney stone. He now has to see a urologist (no suprise) and a nefrologist to have his kidneys checked out. I’m telling you this kid has seen more Dr’s in his short life than you could believe. It would seem his kidneys are not performing optimally which is a common problem with preemies. Yes it just never ends. The good news and hope is that they will “smarten up” as he gets older and perform better than they seem to be doing right now. I’m sure all the meds he is on doesn’t help any, but that is what the nefrologist is for.
As for the lab results from today your guess is as good as ours. They never called with the results so if we don’t hear anything in the morning we will call and try to get the results.
Pray for Stacy as she is running a slight fever and overall just not feeling well. She doesn’t get the rest she needs but since I can’t produce milk to help out we kind of have to keep waking her up to pump.
Sorry Stacy is not feeling well…..please remember you have people close who can help with extra things around the house if needed to give you down time if needed. You guys have all been through so much. Not sure what your docs feel about freezing some milk, but that might help when she just needs to sleep…….
Smiles to you all and you continue to be in our prayers.
You both sound like you are getting pretty tired, I wish we could help in some way. It is going to take Stacy some time to catch up on what sleep she does get after staying at the hospital so long. There certainly is not much sleep going on at a hospital. I hope Stacy you start feeling better really soon, you have done such a super job keeping up with Greysons’ needs and watching over him. We will continue to pray for all of you and remember we love you.
Sounds like Stacey needs some old fashion TLC and some chicken soup. Hopefully it’s something small and will pass soon. And poor Greyson! i hope they don’t want to see if he will pass the stones! you guys will miss out on alot more sleep. Well i’ll keep the whole family in my prayers this week. let me know if you would like me to try and attempt to make some chicken noodle soup for her…
Good to see that Greyson is home again! He is just getting cuter by the day and growing so fast despite all his little body is still trying to do to catch up. Hopefully those stones will pass or they can do something to facilitate getting them to dissolve! We’ll also pray for Stacy to be well! It sure isn’t any fun to be a sick mommy, especially when she is still getting up to pump. Know that we continue to think of you everyday and pray for continued growth and progress for our little miracle cousin!
We love you guys,
Jenell and Family
