Update

I just wanted to update you all on Pearson's progress this week. The fluid on his lungs seems to be going away, so he is on the schedule for surgery tomorrow.  We are very eager to get this surgery done and get him home, as I'm sure you all can imagine, but just like everything else so far, timing makes all the difference and now seems like the perfect time to fix his reflux and insert the G-Tube.  We aren't yet sure what time it will take place....all we know is that it's about a four hour surgery.  He will be re-intibated for the surgery (back on the ventilator) and will probably have to stay on it for a day or so since his lungs are so small and weak. Once he is unsedated and breathing on his own again he will be back on the regular oxygen, which he will be coming home with. We can feel all the prayers you all have sent up for Pearson this week as he has continuously gotten better each day.  He was pretty fussy and unhappy over the weekend and early in the week, but he seems much happier and is smiling a lot more.  We look forward to those smiles everyday, as he grows, changes, and becomes much more alert and aware everyday.  We are having so much fun watching him grow and change.  It really makes us look forward to all the fun we get to have and all the many things we get to teach him when we get home as he continues to grow and learn! Remember us in your prayers tomorrow! Love and Hugs to you all!
