Getting Better
So... our little man is on the mend, most of the meds he was on have been stopped. Everett coughed and pulled out his breathing tube 4 hrs before the docs were going to do it. Then they put a c-pap on him which is a mask held in place by a bunch of head gear and straps, he didnt like that either and pulled it off twice. So now he is just on high flow nasal canulas with 35% O2, and his stats and blood gasses are holding steady. Now we will try and slowly turn down air flow, and O2% to 21% which is what is in the normal air.

The Plan...





Here we are in Ann Arbor, Grandmas Terri, And Kay, down here to help Kora, Everette and myself. So far we have had relatively good news, as his 2 VSD's have nearly closed up on their own. The more critical situations with the double switch, pulmonary band adjustment, and probably pace maker will be decided on Monday evening after Everette's heart catheter is complete. I will update this page Tuesday morning after the docs do their rounds and we decide on the specific course of action. Thanks to all of you out there that have supported us through this incredibly tough time. Your help and support have made this devistating situation more manageable for Everette, Kora, and myself. Thank you sooooo much!


Here is a link for you to read on more specifically what Everette has been diagnosed with:
