Monday Emerson got to go home and was discharged from the hospital! He
has been seizure free for the last week! We are happy that he got to
finally go home! However we are saddened that we have lost some really
great roommates!
I also started on 2 meds for my spit ups and
puking episodes. The Dr.s believe that I may have reflux and given my
situation they need to do something about it.
Monday it was found
that the ward glucometers that have been checking my sugars are totally
wrong. My sugars are going to the lab now, which means more blood from
my foot. They are pretty low. 2.8, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4. The last one was 2.2.
Although they are attributing that to the sample having sat for 2 hours
before it was analyzed. They did it again this time from a venous
sample! It was 3 and my lactate was 9. Not good. I puked and spit up
with every feed over the course of the night. Another venous blood test
was ordered this morning while I was feeding. My glucose was 3.7.
However they still used a tourniquet on me, which elevates the lactate,
which mommy had mentioned both times the sample was taken. So the dr has
ordered my head to be poked at 6pm tonight as it is the most accurate
way to get the lactate level. Free flowing blood only.
