Getting Better

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.

A New Day

Well it has been pretty sunny down here... Which makes everything nice and bright! Everett is heading in for surgery on Monday. Dr. Bove is going to patch up a VSD(shunt, leak between his right and left ventricles) that has been creating problems for him in regards to his breating. There has been to much blood flow to his lungs, and this should fix that!! So we are remaining hopefull that this will help him!! Will keep you posted as to how things are going next week... I know this is what is best for him, although this is the toughest thing I have ever witnessed in my life.... He will get better!
