Bad - No platelet study as Tomas would not bleed today. They sent in the expert for difficult sticks and after 3 tries even she gave up. The game plan was then to draw out from the IV after it was placed, but that didn't work either. Nothing. Nada. So we have to go back another time to do it. The bummer of that is that particular test is only done in Dallas so I'll have to drive back there sometime soon. More bad - his blood sugar was already starting to drop after only 2 hours of fasting. He had been on pedialtye for 3 hours previous to the fasting but there just doesn't seem to be enough sugar in pedialyte to help him. That means his blood sugar issue is still there, we are just masking it with the continuous feeds. He stayed on a D5 drip through the procedure to keep his levels stable, and I was able to re-start his feeds before we left.
Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. When I checked the computer this afternoon and saw all the messages I was so grateful. It is so uplifting to know that you all remembered him today.
