WOOHOO!

I am so excited to announce that Max is officially taking a full three ounces every three hours! Of course he is not wanting anything to do with the bottle, but that's okay! The best part about this is that he is tolerating it great! He used to be very fussy when it came to being fed, but it seems like he is doing a lot better with it!

He had he last dose of antibiotic yesterday. We still have no idea what caused all the mayhem of the 104 degree temp so the doctors are calling it a viral infection. We will never know.

From a dialysis standpoint, he is doing pretty good. The two days that he was off messed all of his levels up. The nephrology fellow and attending are trying to establish the right perscription that will work best for Max. The machine that Max is on isn't made for infants so they are having to figure out what mixture of fluids they need to put him on that will get his numbers down AND keep the machine happy all at the same time. Unfortunately, it's a very complicated process.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!
