10/23/06 - NICU Day #21

Nurse: Michelle
  • The creatinine and potassium are very mildly increased (after increases in the insulin and glucose drips). A bicarb drip was also added last night and his base excess as fallen to -5.
  • The pressors are the same and his lungs are largely unchanged.
  • As you can see Daniel's numbers are all relatively unchanged this morning; however, he continues to defy expectations. There was a tiny drop of fluid (?urine) around his catheter today. We really don't know what this means or what to expect. They gave 1 mg of Lasix as we were leaving to try and coax more.
