We saw The Wee One twice today. The first time, he was doing more of the same. The second time, he had been weened off everything but the morphine and necessary lipids/iv nutrients. He has a bit more difficulty peeing than before, but it’s not as critical an issue as it had been earlier. Hopefully, everything will even out even better and he’ll be able to pee freely again soon. They are catheterizing him again tonight to see if maybe his plumbing is just sluggish due to all of the other changes he’s been going through. He’s amazingly lovely and awesome.
I called there just before midnight. He’s peeing well into his catheter, so it’s possible that it’s just the laziness of his muscles due to the all the medication that have prevented him from forcefully peeing. The night nurse (Darlene) told me that he’s great until he’s handled. He’s turning into be quite a fussy little monkey. He’s still adorable and awesome. All of his gases and vitals are looking good (except when he’s kicking up a fuss), so there are no worries tonight. He’s still not back to pre-PDA surgery levels of comfort, but he’s still on his way.
