Christmas Day 29 5/7

Zane is covering his face so he does not see Santa, he knows he has been a good boy and was hoping to give his mom a present of being extubated unfortunately it did not happen.  Instead Zane was worked up for presumed sepsis.  His heart rate has been 180-200 and has started to show some blood pressure instability.  His feeds were stopped and he is only getting his nutrition through his PICC (piv).  Blood culture were taken and he was started on ampicillian and gentamycin again....

Today was also the day that Nicholas, Fred and Victor were allowed to visit and meet their nephew, but with him possible being sick only the parents went to the bedside.
Zane's sodium remains low, his diuretics have been increased, although he is making some weight gain it is slow, he will be 30 weeks on Monday and has never been without a breathing tube,

I have to wonder what effects will all these arterial sticks have on him later in life, will he have mobility problems due to all the heel sticks, how he will handle pain in the future as he is subjected to painful procedures on a daily basis?
 He was given a blood transfusion on Tues looked good Wed and tonight he looks pale again., on the bright side his face has filled out he does not appear as fragile and he has a wicked (get it sam) personality!
