Zane had surgery at the bedside. His surgeon (the best) placed a drain in the right lower quadrant of his abdomen. His xray showed a lot of "free air" and the drain allows the air to escape. He has a replogle in place-- this is a tube that goes into the belly and helps to decompress the stomach and remove any buildup of fluids. His dopamine is now at 15mcq/kg/min. He is on 150ml/kg of fluid and he has had no urine output. It would not surprise me if he is placed on epinephrine to help maintain his blood pressure. This poor baby is going through so much and he is so young, I pray that his parents have the strength to endure the road ahead of them.
