Brady had a good day yesterday and today. I apologize if I miss posting a day here or there.
Brady does have a slight issue with his kidney function due to their immaturity. This is to be expected. The doctor called it Metabolic Acidosis. They are giving him a medication to assist his kidney function and it is helping...bringing his numbers back to normal. I pray that all his organs will be able to function normally as he grows and with time.
I was able to hold Brady again today. I do worry about getting him out of his protective bed. I don't want to expose him to unnecessary germs or cause him to use too much of his energy. He needs to focus all his energy on breathing and growing. It is going to be so difficult. I want what is best for Brady, so I will continue following the nurses advice on whether or not to hold him. The staff in the NICU at The Women's Hospital are incredible. They are all so friendly and sensitive to us and to each family and their particular situation. It is very comforting and helpful.
