Warming Up
Today was a pretty quiet day.
The staff started to increase James' temperature, 1 degree every 6 hours.
Watching them do this was sort of interesting. As the temperature changes, they have to juggle the dosage of all the drugs that the little guy is currently on.
He has some drugs that help with the blood pressure, but as the temperature changes, this means that the circulation to the limbs increases which drops the pressure, which means the dosage has to change.
Hopefully he'll start to have some milk overnight sometime, and then over the next couple of days reduce the work that the <A class="" title="Wikipedia - ECMO " href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECMO" target=_blank mce_href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECMO">ECMO machine is doing.
