Update March 14, 2009
No news is good news!! Well last night was the first night since this began that Eli slept through the night without complication. So by no news, the doctors did call to tell us that something went a rye, is good news. For right now the doctors are monitoring Eli's blood very carefully and keeping him sedated.
We got to see him awake for a brief moment, and he is coming around from where he was two days ago. He recognized Jessica and began to cry (see picture). A picture is worth a thousand words.
This just in!! The doctor reported that they removed 600cc of fluid from Eli last night and his weight is down to 10.5 Kg. So, the doctor will consider this as a dry weight. This means that they will only remove an amount of fluid equal to what is being put in. Before they were, removing more than what was being put in, trying to catch up to the fluids Eli was retaining. With this information tomorrows plan is to administer more fluid, and take away less by machine, to see if Eli's body will start working and remove the liquids on its own.
So I will leave it at that with a positive note.
Thank you
Lewis Heil
