Long night

Macsen had to be hooked up to an IV all night with more fluid. The consensus is he's very dehydrated. Duh - they have him on not 1, not 2, but THREE diuretics twice a day. The fact that he was only wetting like 2 diapers a day didn't alarm anyone - grrrr. So they cut his diuretics down to 1 twice a day, added in the IV fluids, cut out another med and they will do another blood draw at 3. He is noticeably puffy now and wetting tons of diapers. If all looks ok with this draw then hopefully we will get discharged today. 
He had a terrible night with lots of crying out, saying "ow."  Hoping it's just residual gi discomfort from the antibiotics he was on.we have stopped the ibuprofen as well in case that is hurting his stomach. 
He said he wanted to "eat!!" this morning and he chewed up (then spit out ) 2 pieces of bacon.
