Yesterday, Toby made the hike back to U of M to check in with the pulmonologist. His lungs have been doing extremely well the past month or so. But over the weekend he started huffing and puffing again. It is probablyh is old friend, fluid. He is having a few doses of extra-strength diuretic plus increased doses of his regulars. He is also receiving another 5 day blast of steroids. His weight was up to 11 lbs 12 ounces. Good show! I do wonder, though, what he would weigh today after the effective diuretic; his wet diaper this morning was so heavy it felt like half a pound to me! The extra drugs will mean a trip to the lab on Friday to check his electrolytes. But otherwise, we are hoping for a few days at home just hanging around and being WELL. We have also been sorting clothes as Toby at long last graduates from newborn size- a cause for celebration!
