So it's been a while since I posted because we are trying to get used to life at home as a family. The doctors discharged us on Saturday afternoon. Lucy went home on Amoxicillin (for the possible UTI), iron (just to supplement her diet), and sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride (for the pseudohypoaldosteronism). She is also getting at least 560ml of breastmilk per day which is a lot of fluid.
On Sundy and Monday we didn't do much. Slept in, changed Lucy's diapers, and fed Lucy. The nurse from the Michigan Visiting Nurses came to see how Lucy was doing. Lucy had her vital signs checked and everything is okay.
Sunday was also Lucy's 1 month birthday. Our present to her was no pokes. It was the first day since she had been born that she wasn't poked for blood or an IV.
On Tuesday, we took Lucy in for a blood draw and to see her pediatrician. Lucy's potassium was elevated again at 6.1. Luckily, the doctors asked us to just increase her sodium supplements rather than be readmitted into the hospital. We will have blood drawn again tomorrow and we have an appointment with Nephrology next Monday.
We also took her out to eat for the first time. Lucy slept through the meal like a good little girl.
Lucy's weight is 3.505kg = 7lb 11oz.
