15 May 2009“Jodie and I are at the hospital now and Max’s room was full people … two RNs (Holly and Jenn) and two RTs (Ron and ?). Jenn let us know that Max had a really rough night and day so far … his potassium is still high (though the continual albuterol doses have brought it down to 7.3). Jenn has another emergency medicine on hand, in case his potassium doesn’t lower … otherwise he could start having arrhythmia. His blood pressure is really low, so he is back on both the dopamine (at 10 mcg) and dobutamine (at 7 mcg). They are raising the dobutamine 1 mcg every 15 minutes unless his blood pressure comes up.”
“He wasn’t urinating, so he is back on a catheter and he has switched his scalp IV a couple of times.”

He spent 14 days in the NICU at Florida Hospital South, with his mother, father & family, before heading home to Heaven. We are all very excited to see him again.

Hey guys – you remain in our prayers.
We’d like to come by and visit, but aren’t sure of the best time, or if a visit is what you need most from us… please let us know how we can help! We’d love to see Max, and be there for you guys as well.
Guessing you are at the facility on Rollins.. but not sure of that, either.
