HEALTH WATCH WEEK

2:56 PM 2/14/2008
august's pro's:
very little wheezing.wheezes hard only when being carried and once in a while when asleep,but it doesn't last.he begins to breathe slowly and shallow after a short while unless he happens to be snoring.i can pretty much tell the difference now/.
he isn't peeing as often in fact not that often at all strangely enough. seems to be able to rest and sleep more peacefully/.
can sleep now without waking up to lift his hed every 15 to 30 seconds/. had a bowel movement today. half inch long,almost a half inch(not quite) in circumference/.
obviously not his major blockage being passed but he did it without straining extremely hard/.
he attempted again a short while later with no success,but he still was at peace and not frantic and merely went to sleep again/.*********************************************CONS:
HE loses his balance wayyy to easily/. maybe his electrolytes/.he can't stand up very well for long without my holding him up/.
he probably needs potassium due to the lasix making him pee and whatever/. i need to find something to replace the potassium /electrolytes/.
he cant walk very far at a time outside.wobbly..almost falls down after just two steps out there,,after just walking two feet he seems wobbly weak and tired.this makes me feel like it's the lasix and a depletion of electrolytes that needs to be replaced
/*****************************************/
weigh the pro's and cons each day in this manner/.
at the end of the day sometime around 3am,add up the pro's and cons.make sure to be in bed by 6am beginning tomorrow and continue each day doing so/.when shopping walmart tonight buy earplugs to ensure that i sleep soundly/.
keep a video record of august's actions each day for two hours straight...two hours in the afternoon and two at night/.
i'll close here an stop/.
i need to find stuff to do to somehow stay awake tonight after being awake all last night and today and half of yesterday/.
