Hudson is growing so much!! Almost 10 lbs!! This has been such a wonderful week for him. Daddy is so proud to say that Hudson smiled at him 3 times!! It was so cute! He had a cardiac MRI tuesday to evaluate his pulmonary arteries and it showed that he has near normal blood flow through both his right and left PA so it will not be neccessary to precede with the cardiac catherization! YEAH!! He also had a PICC line put in yesterday and needed little sedation for this. This morning they pulled his 2 intracardiac central lines and there was very minimal bleeding so no transfusion was needed...even better! Now they are just continuing to wean his methadone and valium levels (it is a gradual titration down that they have been weaning for the past 2 weeks)...and he is scheduled to go back to the OR Tuesday for another rigid bronchoscopy to evaluate his airway and possible extubation!!!! He has one more setting to wean down to on the ventilator to be able to be extubated and they are going to drop the ventilator down today. Later today mommy will be able to put his first outfit on and wrap her arms around him...she can't wait!! And....there was another delivery last night Ernie the elephant.....a special gift from his loving Daddy!! More good news to come!
Tears of joy! So very happy to hear Hudson is having a great week. So glad to hear you will be able to wrap him in your arms and love on him today! Praying for the day sweet Hudson can go home! Love you all!
