Hurry up and wait.


We are still waiting for the official read of the MRI to make it's way down from "On High" (In this case radiology). We have a meeting at 4PM today with the team to layout our options and come up with a plan. We were warned that they have already booked an operating room time-slot. With the assurance that it is only because it is easier to cancel than it is to get one on the fly. No decisions will be made until we have our meeting today.

The diretuic they have Tyler on appears to be buying us some time. It can't solve the problem, but it can allow him time to work things out on their own. There are at least 2 built-in ways to relieve the preassue. We are hoping he can solve this on his own before we have to go in and help him out.

Feeds are continuing to ramp up and TPN is ramping down. We crossed the 50/50 point today. He is taking more of his nutrition in the form of milk than via TPN. He is still on caffeine to make sure he has energy to breathe on his own. Taking body weight into account he is on the equivalent of 2 and a half cups of coffee for an adult per day.

He looks great, and so big! I hope the meeting goes well and you are able to get some good answers and a good game plan.
Good luck,
