Will did reasonably well overnight. The neurologist examined his EEG around 11:00 last night and discovered that he is still having seizures... some a minute to a minute and a half in length. They are giving him a new anti-seizure medication... Dylantin?? We're hoping this medication will have a better effect than the Prostoglandin.
Will's cardiologist decided this morning to close his chest tomorrow... they we're hoping to do it today, but the anti-seizure medication has lowered his blood pressure and his body is kind of overloaded with fluids right now.
His kidney is still working great... he is producing more urine than most babies with 2 kidneys. However, since they want to close his chest as soon as possible, they want to go ahead and do dialysis to ensure he will be ready tomorrow for the chest closing procedure.
Since Will came out of surgery his doctors have been concerned that he has been slow to wake up. This could be related to the seizures, but no one really knows. It doesn't help that the anti-seizure medication makes him extremely sleepy, so who knows why?
Will's nurse let Josh & I give him a bath last night. It was very special for us. We look forward to all the little things, even changing a diaper!!
