Raul's kidney function labs took a big jump today, which
nephrology now thinks was because we increased his g-tube feeds but his
TPN/Lipids had not been decreased so he got extra protein. So he had 3
hours of dialysis today and will have 3 hours tomorrow. They also think
he has legitimately gained some weight, so they will not be pulling him
down quite as low during dialysis. He will have an ultrasound next
Monday to check how his kidneys are doing.
Raul had more bleeding
from his nose this afternoon, so he got platelets. Our good news of the
day was that his CMV viral level went down this week! He also did a
good job drinking his thickened liquids with speech therapy today, and
he will have a swallow study next Tuesday to make sure things look good
on the inside as well. He will also have a repeat chest CT next week to
see how his lungs are looking. Raul's fevers today were not as high as
yesterday, which was great!
This video is from a few days ago, the video is saying "if you're happy
and you know it stomp your wheels". He got pretty into it, but I only
got a few seconds on video!
