Jasmine was on dialysis for most of the day. They are putting antibiotics in the dialysis fluid to counteract the infection. Jasmine’s temperature and blood pressure were fine all day, so we are hoping that it doesn’t develop into anything. We don’t have any further blood test results yet. She is now on a
Baxter Home Choice dialysis machine. Machine dialysis involves fewer line and bag changes, which reduces the chance of infection, so is a good step forward. If Jasmine does well this would probably be the type of machine that we would take home with her to treat her overnight.We fed Jasmine 29 mls of milk every three hours and she was behaving more like a baby today, crying when she was hungry or tired. As she has fewer lines in at the moment she managed to get into a baby suit.
Jasmine had a go at breast feeding today. It wasn’t as easy to get milk as from a bottle and she was waving her arms around like a crazy person (Jasmine, not Ruth)!
