| Who's that handsome devil! |
The last two days have been pretty nuts. Daylon has slept no more than 20 minutes at a time, and has moaned and thrashed almost every waking moment. I am only able to calm him for a minute or two, until he grows tired of my efforts and starts complaining. The doctors have no clue what is going on. There was fresh blood draining from his tube Thurs. night for a few minutes, but then it stopped. This morning there was this dusty sludge around his g-tube site and clogging up the actual g-tube. A GI doc. came up and said that it's nothing too concerning, but an x-ray would be done to check the j portion of the tube. The results show that it's in the same location it was placed in, so that's not his problem. He hasn't had a fever since they started Ethanol locking his lines at night. Boy am I glad we have a problem solver like Dr. Tolar on our side! He thinks part of the issue post dialysis is also allergy, so he's looking into it. Hallelujah! :) Daylon's potassium has been dangerously high, so there's no backing off on dialysis.
It's been 48 hrs and his skin looks great! I can't even believe this is the same kid! I'm so stoked! The bottoms of his feet are still missing several layers of skin and his toes and the surrounding area have a yellow/green look to them from infection (staph on the left and
pseudomonas on the right). The infections are starting to clear up though. His feet are sore from the dialysis blood pressure cuff, so until dialysis stops, they'll probably still be there.

| HIGHLIGHT of TODAY: Daylon held up his head!! |
 |
| Daylon and his nurse, Kim. He hardly even looks like the same kid! His face is so full now from the steroids, not to mention the CSA facial hair! A mustache at 13 months! He's lucky he's so dang cute! |
It's 2:30 am and I'm exhausted. I'm sorry this is rushed but I need sleep. Thank you all for being so wonderful. You give us just the boosts we need! More tomorrow! Sweet dreams!
PS- Daylon's primary nurse, Erin is back on tonight! Yay! It's the first time we've had her since he's been intubated!
