It's another Kangaroo Care Day for Carter. We have him out of his isolette and doing some needed kangaroo care. Great for both Carter and Katie!! He is much less rambunctious today....so far. He is still on the CPAP machine at a rate of 40 breaths per minute with 21% oxygen and doing well. He has been urinating too much so the medical team is keeping a close eye on it. They have had to replete some of his electrolytes. If you remember back a couple weeks he had some sodium issues because his urine was too concentrated but his output was normal. Now however, he is peeing too much. They are talking about getting a renal ultrasound in the morning however no firm decision has been made yet. Because of this increased urine output he did lose an ounce so now he weighs 2 pounds 12 ounces. I did change a diaper which by the way I am becoming a pro at since I have to navigate tubes and wires through two small openings while trying to tame the wild man inside who does not like being touched. If you are wondering it was full, thank you Carter.
