Hi All,
This is the begining of our 'blog' complete with photos. Please bear with us as we figure it out. The Doctors are planning to draw Lil Bo's skin closer together tomorrow around noon. Please pray for strength for his heart, lungs, and body as he undergoes another procedure. I doubt this one will be the four hour ordeal on his birthday. Imagine being 6 hours old and undergoing a 4 hour abdominal surgery. Little Bo is doing well. Yesterday the top part of his right lung collapsed but that has re-inflated as of the 6AM x-ray today. Please pass on the link to anyone that might be interested and give us feed back when you talk to us on the phone. Our resident expert on the NICU procedures is Kim Porter a NICU RN - If you have any real questions maybe I can get her to give the answers. Other wise I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express and feel like I am as smart as the Doctors and Nurses. :) Stat Line: O2 (Oxygen)=30% [ 21% is room air - he has been as high as 50%+; Map (Ocilator pressure setting = 21[a declining trend is good news - he has been as as high as 25 ]; Liver, Kidney, and other functins are improving slowly. I will upload more pics - I have plenty of them. Oh BTW - Both Katey and I finally got to hold him... I got to lift him 6" off his pad while they placed an x-ray film underneath him. Katey got to lift him again so they could remove the exposed film. That was yesterday. It was thrilling! Today Katey got to change his diaper. :) R |
