Will is doing better.
They started him on Dopamine, which helped him get better blood flow to his kidney, which helped him pee! He has already gotten a lot of fluid off, and as of last night he weighed 9 pounds, 9 ounces.
Right now they are concentrating on weaning his ventilator settings and getting his blood sugar levels in order before surgery. They are also going to slowly start his feeds back again.
Dr. Bove has two surgeries today. We hope to speak to him later this afternoon. We do know that he has no surgeries scheduled for tomorrow, so it could be less than 24 hours until Will goes into surgery.
We'll let you know as soon as we hear something!

I'm truly happy Will is doing better today, my heart sank last night as I read your post for that day.
I know you are in good hands and I'll try sometime to come up, I hope. I don't think I'd ever get another chance to see you if not.
Take care...and I am so glad you have so many people praying for you and your family. I wonder how some people manage to get thru stuff like this without a relationship with their heavenly Father. I know with Eliya I felt His presence many times and it was because of so many prayers that we have peace.
Take Care,
Angela Hayward
(don't forget to tell everyone Hello! for me...is Jorianna still up there?)

Hi Stephanie and Josh
Have been out of town and was so anxious to get back and get caught up on Will.
Stephanie and Josh, you just amaze me!
My prayers are with Will and his mommy and daddy. You guys hang in there and know Highland Park is praying for all of you.
