SETTLING INTO NEW ROOM












The stuffed animals and balloons made the trip to the new room!

Witt is respiratory rate, heart rate, oxygen saturation and CO2 numbers all continue to be right where we want them. He still is fluid positive...for now about 250ml positive. His creatinine level is also a little high but that is because of all the diuretics and has nothing to do with his kidney function...kidneys are just fine. The doctors are still trying different combinations and amounts of diuretics. Melanie got permission from the doctor to take Witt off all the monitors except the pulse oxygen. Witt has little blisters on his chest from all the monitor stickers. Normally for Witt his Osat level is a good indicator of how he is feeling. I know God promises to be to us anything we need. Witt needs the fluid to come off and stay off. Guess we need God to be Witt's diuretic! Lynn said that if God could dry up the Red Sea, He could surly dry out Witt! At any rate, Witt seems to be feeling much better if the look on his face is any indication!!!
