Updates


I really should let Brent give the medical updates. You all know how I can get my facts easily confused (and lyrics - no teen comments, lol). But I'm gonna try, then Brent can correct any of my mistakes next post. They are not going to start a feeding tube or remove the vent until at least next week. They feed him through an IV right now, the nurse said he gets equivalent of Gatorade and fat. He is doing well on his oxygen, he is on the same % we breath, he is assisted half the time, the other half he does it on his own. His lungs are not bleeding as badly instead of bright red coming from them it is pink. He had to have a blood transfusion on Friday and did really well with it. He pooped (I can't wait until he is 16 and says, "Mom, I can't believe you told the world wide web I pooped."). But it's a big thing, that means his pipes are working.


We went to visit last night and they just had a new admission so we had to wait an hour. Off to Starbucks we went. I hadn't been to see him all day. I thought it best to rest instead of fighting game traffic. So when they said we couldn't visit I was more than bummed. But when we went back an hour later we went right in. I wanted to run from the hand-washing sink to his room. He looked so cute last night, shock shock. I was singing to him and I could see his forehead wrinkling above his shades. So I bent low so I could see up under his shades his eyes were open and he was raising his eyebrows, so cute. I have a feeling I'm gonna think everything he does is adorable, even pooping!!!
