Happy 3 week birthday to our little warrier!
Today, Ryder's dopamine drip was titrated down with no adverse effect on his blood pressures, he is still diuresing well and the arm ultrasound yesterday showed no clot extended past his atrium. Good news! He will have another ECHO tomorrow, presumably to see if the clot is still in the same place and there is still "moderate" tricuspid regurgitation. Not sure that I really want to know if the clot moved or if the tricuspid regurg is worse. Kind of makes you wonder why we always have to look then. Aren't doctors so ridiculous -who else spends so much time looking for things nobody wants to find and asking questions for which there are no answers! Hard to believe we have been here for 3 weeks now...
things are moving slower than we had hoped for but still going in the right direction, and for that we are thankful! Well, unfortunately Ryder's cute basketball tape for his NG tube will have to be replaced since he just threw up on it, but that's ok...I still got a picture of it and now he's back to sleep...and Mr. Ryder would like everyone to know that he celebrated his 3 week birthday by pooping for the first time in 2 weeks. Seriously - did YOU do anything that monumental today?? :)
