Liam did great last night. They reduced the assistance he is receiving from the ventilator and he is resting comfortably. At the doctors' suggestion, Lauren and I stayed at home last night. They say that since he is so sedated the first night and the parents are so emotionally drained, that is the best night for mom and dad to go home and rest up. So we called the cardiac ICU four times for updates in nine hours and were back at Liam's bedside by 7:15. Today's big goal is to get him off of the ventilator. We'll let everyone know when that occurs. Everything else seems to progress from there.
Happy Friday everyone!
Great news to wake up to! It doesn't sound like you or Lauren got that much rest but probably more than you would have in the hospital. We are so happy that Liam is resting and that this is behind you. He is a trooper! God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteSo glad things are going as planned, and that you were able to get a little rest -- in-between phone calls. ;-) Thank you so much for taking the time to post these progress reports. Lots of love and prayers are coming your way!
ReplyDeleteWhat a relief and what good news! Our prayers continue. Love to all of you, ESP Liam.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Liam! I bet he's everyone's favorite patient. We've been thinking about him so much, thanks for the update :)
