Well it looks like we jumped the gun once again! I think we all got our hopes up after Dr. Superina told us the shunt was open. The shunt still looks good but poor Aid can't seem to bring his blood counts back up. Right now he is getting a unit of red cells and maybe more with a platelet chaser later tonight.
As I mentioned earlier the little man is definatly gray only now he's itchy on top! Benedryll and blood have always been the right combo to get Aid on his feet before so lets all cross our fingers that it does the trick this time too.
On a lighter note, I'm pretty sure Ryan has a whole new respect and understanding for a catheter! He cringes everytime he sees it. Now just multiply that one little catheter by an internal monitor an external monitor and more than a few hours of labor...then he'll have something to cringe about! Gotta get the smiles where we can take them today :)
