Oct 3rd & 4th Potty today!!!

Today has been a wonderful day. Dylan started going potty again today. We have never been so excited about pee in our whole life!!! This is such a positive sign as the renal function was a huge concern this past week and a half or so. Dylan is up to 2 pounds 2 ounces or just over 1000 grams with his actual weight without the fluid retention being just over 600 grams. My mom and I and my aunt who actually works here at the UIHC listened as the doctors made their rounds this morning. His platelat (sp) levels are up which is good and the blood culture from the 29th and 2nd are still not growing anything which is even better!! Dylan looks great today, he is moving around and showing much improvement. They did another head ultrasound today and it looks good. They did an Echo on his heart and it looks like the prelimenary results are that the PDA is still open. We will have to wait and see what they decide to do with that. That is a little scarey but we will get thru it. There is still a long long way to go but these positive baby steps the doctors said we will take any day. There is a big man above watching over us and I know that our first little boy Dalton is watching over his little brother and giving him the strength. I will try so hard and get some pictures posted because you guys have got to see this little fighter...... he is a miracle. This team of doctors and surgeons here are amazing and trying everything they can but still giving Dylan all of the credit!! We still love any extra prayers we can get. Brad and I know he is in the best place and we are holding onto our hope now more than ever! God Bless you Dylan!
