109th Day in the NICU

Today Drayke weight 6lb 1 oz. He has lost almost 12 ozs since last week. He is currently at 78% oxygen and 34/5 on his pressures. His platelet level continues to drop and the Dr is unsure why. I have done some research and found out that Gentamycin and Heparin could cause platelet levels to drop. There are other reasons but Drayke is currently taking both of these. He has had Heparin since the beginning and of course he has had the platelet problem since the beginning. So maybe this is the problem. I have mentioned it to the nurse and of course she got nasty about it but she will mention it to the Doctors. We may try the soy formula to see if this will stop his belly from becoming so distended.
