Well, Logan's labs didn't look wonderful this week. His phosphorous was high so we're increasing his calcium carbonate, that one's not really a big deal. His potassium was in normal range so that's awesome. But, his BUN is even higher than normal. It's probably why he's been feeling so crummy lately. We were told now to decrease his pediasure intake to 2 cans from 3. This is a problem because I'm back to needing to give him about half pediasure to half breastmilk and my supply is down low because I felt like it was better for him to gain weight. But, his body can't handle the increased protein. We can't raise his fill volume to give him more adequate dialysis because of his hernia which will be repaired the 4th. And he's really at the maximum hours of dialysis that they're willing to go. So, we're kind of at a crossroads that is blocked here. I feel a bit helpless. I know that God will provide for him and I don't have that same depressed outlook that I have recently but I have a sinking feeling that all of this is going to get worse before it gets better.
