2 Weeks Old!!!
Our precious miracle is 2 weeks old today!!!!! He had a good night and continues to rest today. His stats are looking good so far. They are closely watching his blood pressure, because if it falls too low or too high it can mean internal bleeding or cause the brain bleeding to get worse. It was a little high earlier, but they have started him on some medication to try and regulate it. The brain scan came back today and showed that the bleed has NOT gotten any worse. This is great news, because Dr. Kays said yesterday that as long as the bleed doesn't progress then he isn't terribly concerned about it. We just pray that it stops! Some of you have asked about his incision. It is right below his right rib cage and is kind of diagonal and measures about 5". The doctors did a great job sewing him up and his incision has already started healing nicely. We figure he will like showing it off one day! He will definitely have a great story to go with it! Our first 24 hours is almost up and we are pleased so far, but we also know how quickly things can change. We are praying for another successful 24 hours with no complications!

so thankful to hear surgery is over! I want to share w you that our Camden was on ECMO for 21 days and we know how difficult it is. He was also missing most of his diaphragm. He also had a brain bleed that stopped and caused no damage whatsoever! We thank God for that. We weren't with Kays then, but now at age 2 just started to see him. We had great care in Jacksonville, but it was very scary being one of the first there, and being one of the worse. Just wanted to share some hope and we continue for God to work a miracle!!
