So my son peds told us to come back to the er since he still wasn’t able to urinate they finally took us serious and admitted us yesterday afternoon . Turns out he’s having problems keeping his sugars up so they took a lot of blood did some
Scans and had him on liquids all day yesterday and sugar every 3 hrs before I nurse him . Since he’s been getting his liquid and sugars he’s been urinating like he’s supposed to and his glucose has been normal . So this morning they removed the ivs and he isn’t getting anymore sugars either to see if he can keep his sugars up on his own . If he can then we can go home tonight if not we’ll have a longer stay so let’s hope that my baby can do it 🙏🏾🙏🏾 he’s only 7 days old today and been back and forth to the er getting poked and prodded since 4 days old .
@hakunamafuckitall, yes we’re at home now he’s peeing just fine I think he’s suction on boob wasn’t strong enough for him to get out enough milk even though he wasn’t fussy . For the last 2 days I’ve been pumping every 2 hrs and giving him the milk through a bottle then putting him on boob after and he’s been peeing just fine now . But they still concerned about his sugars being unstable and since his dad is a diabetic and his dad and brother and etc and I had preeclampsia they want to make sure he’s not an diabetic as well so we have a nurse coming over tomorrow to check his sugars and weight so hopefully his sugars are normal because in the hospital whenever they dropped back and forth they was super super low
@jenx, @hakunamafuckitall, @thatregalmujer, @xryztalroze, we’re home now he was able to keep his sugars up by himself and still urinate it’s not much every diaper but they’re happy that he’s going now . They are going to send a nurse over here to check on him Monday to make sure his sugars are still normal and that he’s still gaining weight . Plus we have a follow up appointment with his peds this coming week. Thanks guys for all the prayers !!!!! Hopefully he will continue to thrive on his own I’m also pumping plus breast feeding now they say if he’s getting at least an ounce or 2 that’s enough for him right now so I’m pumping to make sure he’s getting just that just Incase we have another set back I can say faithfully that he is getting the amount of milk he needs .
So happy to hear!! I know how scary the unknown is and how terrible it is to see your baby getting poked when they are so little!!! Prayers continue for his wellness!!!
So sorry mama! I hope they get answers fast!!! Poor little baby. Give me flash backs of my poor dd1 at 4 days old being stuck and screaming with her in the ER. 😭
@jenx, yes me too I just really hope he can continue to keep his sugars up and urinate on his own cause he had a ROUGH day yesterday with everyone sticking him all day and his veins was completely shot so they was sticking him all over his body 😭😭 I couldn’t take that shit again if we have to stay
@hakunamafuckitall, yes me too it was really scary and frustrating that they kept telling me that him not really urinating for 2 days straight wasnt anything to worry about . Like since when is not peeing normal ?? My son peds had to call up here to the hospital and demand that they do a full panel if it wasn’t for that they wouldn’t have knew how low and off balanced his sugars are and that’s extremely dangerous .
