48 Hours Down!

I am beyond happy to report that God has answered our prayers once again! We have had another successful 24 hours! Pearson is now 48 hours post surgery and winning this battle! What a strong little guy we have on our hands! The amount of support Pearson is receiving from the ECMO machine was able to be lowered again today. He is now at 160 and once he gets somewhere between 100-150 he can come off the ECMO! The lowest he ever got before surgery was 220 and his lungs couldn't compensate for anything lower, so he has already gotten farther than he ever has! We are hoping to possibly have him off in the next couple of days...it just all depends on Pearson! The nurse also said that both lungs are sounding better and working more everyday! The brain scan also came back today and showed that the bleed has not progressed and remains the same, which was great news! We are so thankful that God has given us another great day!!! I know this makes you all happy as well!!!

    I know you and Matt must be breathing a small sigh of relief. I know we are. Your dad and I are coming down on Saturday. For some reason your dad and I just can't wait to get there....I don't think my laundry is ever going to get caught up again. But I don't care... See you soon, Mindy and Dad
