Pee Anxiety

The pee issue continues. Wren received lasix (PO) at 8pm last night but has not yet pee'ed more than 7g.

I keep poking his diaper anxiously but it remains crackly. (Oh, for a nice soggy warm bag of pee.)

Current theories are:
1) He needs more time to respond to oral lasix.
2) Not getting enough fluid.
3) He is hiding it somewhere.

His weight is normal (12.1kg) so perhaps he was hyper-inflated before.

Oh man...it's all about the pee right now! Maybe you should bring in a little fountain and put it next to him!!
I loved your post about the "hospital atmosphere". So, true. I always tell people that if there hospital doesn't have helicopters landing a couple times an hour at night, it's not the right hospital!!

"Nice soggy warm bag of pee"

This made me laugh so hard! It is so frustrating when the pee stops. We have said many pee prayers and done many pee dances.
