You're sure keeping us on our toes. We called first thing this morning to see how you were doing and were informed that your kidney's weren't functioning as they should. You needed to be peeing more to pee off fluid so that the swelling will go down so they can close your chest. Until this happens, your chest has to stay open. They were unsure why you weren't peeing more yet. Doctors expect 2-3 days to return to normal, but are thinking you will take 4-5 days. Of course, this really worried me.
Nana came to see you before Mommy & Daddy got to the hospital. She said you were moving and opening your eyes a little today. That was great to hear. We found out that you are peeing more now and the number that needs to go down (shows good kidney function), was lowering. It was a 1 when we arrived. Normal is about .3, but it was down from the 1.6 that you were initially at. Progress. That's what matters, progress.
You are moving your feet a bit and you opened your eyes for us! It was so good to see your eyes! You know we are here and we know you are here. I can't tell you how great it was to see our little Easton! I couldn't help but keep telling you, "You did it! You did it!"
We're taking Big Brother to go get ice cream after visiting you today to celebrate your one week birthday. We're so proud of how brave and strong you are. Keep improving for us! We can't wait to take you home!
Love,
Mom & Dad
