Today's nurse said Caleb had an uneventful night. I guess that is a good thing, although he is still under sedation, on the ventilator, etc. So he really is not doing much on his own yet to really test his system. She mentioned that he is very swollen today after all of yesterday's trauma and all the extra fluid they have been giving him to try and raise his blood pressure. So now they are adding a medicine to try and help him get rid of some of this extra fluid. Hopefully once the extra fluid is gone then we can start weaning from ventilator. His blood pressure is still on the low side, so they have him on extra dopamine. Whatever that is. :) All in all, the nurse said he is doing "as expected". Guess we will take that...
Going to get ready to see him and make the lovely trek...again! So I will be back later to let you know how Day 1 has gone. Thank you so much for your support and prayers!
Poor little guy...and his poor little momma. It's a privilege to pray for you all, Joanna. Thank you for posting the pictures. Ryan and Sara look so cute next to their baby brother. I'm sure this is all so confusing for them but God loves them and will comfort their precious little hearts too. I know you're relieved that they finally got to see him and see where you go every day. Love you, girl!
