Kade has been really sleepy again today. He slept our entire visit. He is congested, eyes leaking and his poor face is blistered on both sides from the tape. It is really even bothering the nurse today. He also still looks very pale to me. She checked to see if they ran his criti and they did on Monday. It was low, so she is going to ask the doc to run it again. I copied and pasted what low crit values mean, bc I don't understand it.
From internet, hematocrit values decrease when the size or number of red cells decrease. This is most common in anemia, but other conditions have similar effects: excessive bleeding, damaged cells due to a mechanical heart valve, liver disease, and cancers affecting the bone marrow.
Obviously, we don't think he has any of this but maybe he's anemic.
As soon as the neo makes rounds, we should have a better idea whats going on.
All in all, he is doing well.
