Still sleeping

Macsen is still looking good. He has a little nasal cannula blowing oxygen up his nose, a chest tube draining his chest, a catheter, an arterial line measuring his pressures... 2 IVs with fluids, and milrinone for his heart. No pacing wires this time. He kind of woke up a little when the nurse took off his blanket and cried a quiet, pitifully strangled cry so we shushed him back to sleep. He will be on morphine, weaning to Tylenol. Maybe tonight if he can handle being awake enough to swallow I can feed him. Maybe able to hold him tomorrow. We were booted from the CICU because they are doing a sterile procedure.

  2. It breaks my heart to see him going through all this, but if it is a cure for his condition, then so be it. He is too little to go through so, so much. I love you Macsen, and send my love and prayer to you multifold. Hope to see you next week! Love and kisses, Grammy
