Camdyn had a great night, did not wake up once. He slept peacefully until around 7;15a.m. :) he still has a dry pull-up on, so no sign of the lasix working just yet. They have told us this morning that instead of every 8hours, they will be giving it to him every 6hours. The dr. is becoming a little more aggressive with trying to help give Camdyn's kidneys a 'jump start'. If he does not tinkle on his own today, the dr. stated he most likely would insert a catheter on Friday, in hopes of releasing any urine that may be in his bladder. So! at this time, we are still desperately praying that his body begin to work on its own...
We will continue to update you later this evening...
much love!
We have had a traumatic occurance this morning while inserting the catheter. The nurse (and student nurse >:( have possibly punctured the bladder or the urethra. When the catheter was inserted, a small amount of urine came out (yea!) but all of the sudden - blood began to protrude from him (down there).. not through his catheter, but around it. It was immediately pulled out. We instantly knew something was seriously wrong. The dr. came in and the nurses, and were offering their apologies :/
We will not know for sure until he is x-rayed. In about an hour, the dr. that performed Camo's initial surgery, will sedate Camdyn and insert a dye into his "goober" (that is what Camo calls it) to see where the damage is and to what extent. Once this is determined, then we will know what the next step is.
tbd.

After 2 unsuccessful attempts from the dr. to insert the catheter, while Camo was lightly sedated - they decided to fully sedate him and take him to the O.R. for the procedure. After about an hour (felt like 5hours!) the dr. came out of the surgery area with good news. The catheter was in place and they actually saw some urine in Camdyn's bladder. This is good! This means the kidneys are trying to start functioning.
After the sedation wore off and a short nap... he woke up in a great mood with a even better appetite! The doctor said his mood was because his central nervous system was making progress! So hopefully tonight we will have tinkle, poopoo, and no more mishaps! Tomorrow should be a great 4th of July!
Good night and Sweet dreams baby Camdyn. We love you soooooooooooooo mmmuch!

Your friend Myra just emailed several of us to pray for Camdyn. I worked with her at the preschool. She was my daughter's teacher and I was baby Zade's teacher. My son Barrett, who is 9, was born with kidney disease. He takes lasik every day along with two other medications. I in some way know how you are feeling. We have several doctors there at Cook's and you are in great hands up there. I will continue to pray for you and your family. God will watch over him. I know that people have told me that my son would be in terrible shape all of his life but he hasn't had infections or anything all of his life. You would never know anything is wrong with him. He plays baseball and is on a select and allstar team. Sometimes the doctors don't remember that things are in God's hands and the love of the Mom and Dad can also make miracles happen. Keep your faith up and I will be praying and following your story.
