Quick Update I do not have much time, but I wanted to give you all a quick update like I promised. I have to run and do Babybear's therapies(water therapy, physical therapy and massage therapy). I am going to post my daughters update that she sent to me. I hope this explains some things.
Here it is::: hey everyone. sorry i didnt update you all last night. im extremely exhausted and just wanted to stay with my baby. he did well throughout the night. they are planning on slowly taking him off the respirator. they will keep the tube in and try a cpac to see if he will breathe by himself. if he doesnt, the tube will be there just in case and they can continue him on the repirator. but he is becoming a little more alert each day. they tried more iv's today and he was actually kicking the nurses hand away when she tried sticking him. this is a BIG leap from friday, when he was just laying there, doing nothing the entire time they were sticking him (which was close to 15-20 times). his blood culture has not come back yet and we are still waiting on that. he is having his EEG done right now. we will find out results a little later from that as well.
i did get a HUGE slap in the face though. i found out today that his white blood count from his spinal fluid was a couple thousand (which is SEVERALY high). so they said they will be needing to medicate him for 10-21 days. all of which he will be here for. i knew he would be here a while, it just finally hit me though when they said the amount of days. again, i will not be leaving him. and i will continue to update.
but i must get back to my baby. so i will update you all tonight when we have results from everything. thank you
becca
I will update again soon. And they you all for all the prayers and liting the candles again. I guess I will be holding the ceremony longer than I was hoping. But I keep the candles going until he comes home. Thank you all again.
