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.

Hip Hip Horray!

OK. Don't want to get to exited, but Everett's surgery went really, really well yesterday. And we have hopes that this did the trick to heal his lungs. He has been really squirmy and they are having to give him more sedation. Its a double edged happiness to see him more lively, because he isn't really focused, or comfortable, but he is a fighter, and that is nice to see. I apologize for the last post, the doctors have been doing an amazing job, and we are endlessly thankfull to have such a great team working with Everett and us. So. Will keep you posted on the next big steps, again he will have to get off of the ventilator, and ween him down off of the sedation. The weather is making this transition a bit easier. With 50 degrees and sunny, there is a lightness in our step. Peace love and joy to all!
