Update March 19, 2009
Well here we Go.
Eli's original dialysis clogged up early this morning, at 4:00 am. So, currently we are starting Hemo-Dialysis. It is 3:30 pm. This is very quick 4 hour run, and then we should be-able to let Eli get a more normal schedule of rest and relax and then dialysis, in a cyclical fashion. This also means that we can leave the PICU to a recovery room, and only come back to PICU for Dialysis Treatment. His kidneys are responding well but no substantial urination.
Also, today we were able to get Eli out of bed. He slept in jessicas arms for awhile. Eli also has begun physical therapy to help him get adjusted from bed life.
Eli is even more closely monitored now due the the sophistication of the machine. Attached are photos of Eli (of course the star of this saga), and his new speedy artificial kidney.
Thank you all for your continual support and prayers they are not going unwanted. As you can tell in my reporting we are doing better and Eli is showing improvement.
Thank you
Lewy

I guess the comments are being left @ facebook. I'll put one here too. I love the sweet foto of Jessica holding Eli, sad little man. Hard to think it was his first bloody nose in Carlsbad & think of what he is going through now is huge step for a little body to adjust to. Stay strong, love ya lots, Mom
