It has been a very busy few days, Zane has held his own and his stomach looks better not as dusky and less drainage coming from the site, unfortunately his UAC had to be removed, the longer it stays in the higher the risk for infection and his right foot pinky toe and big toe were turning blue. A sign that a clot was forming on the end of the UAC. One of the benefits of the UAC was it kept track of his blood pressure which allowed the nurse to titrate his dopamine drip. His dopamine was running to maintain his blood pressures between 25-30. Zane would now require 15 minute blood pressure readings which is not painful but certainly uncomfortable. He also would have to have heal sticks or arterial sticks for his lab draws.
