Good Evening Everyone!
Crystal here.....
Praise the Lord!!! Today has been a wonderful day, We woke up this morning, got a good report from my doctor, he said my incision looked great, I was doing great, no more high blood pressure, and so he would probably discharge me tomorrow. We will be going back to the Hospitality House Apartment. We went to the NICU and got great reports from the nurses and doctors, Parker's blood work had looked so good all night and they had turned the settings down on both ventilators. Throughout the whole day he has done wonderful, they have even turned his oxygen lower and lower until finally this afternoon he wasn't on any at all, so now he is just breathing room air, and holding his own, he's still on the vent, but just not any oxygen. His carbon dioxide levels are still down. He had some high blood sugar last night too, and now that is all normal. They had stopped feeding him for the time being b/c he wasn't digesting it, well this afternoon he also had his first bowel movement too! (Never thought I would get so excited to see poop) :) But I was exstatic....Then this evening before we left them to do their shift change, he pooped again, and so his intestines are starting to work, so maybe now they can try to start to reintroduce food again. They told us that if his blood work continued to keep doing well through out the night and he is still doing this well, then they were going to take him off of that special "jet" ventilator in the morning. He will still be on the regular one, but that is a step in the right direction.....While he is doing so good we are going to try and get some good rest tonight, and hopefully get settled back into the apartment tomorrow....Thank you all so much for your continued prayers....They are obviously working.....GOD IS IN CONTROL!!!!!!
We love you all!
Goodnight
