Just a quick update on Alex. He is still doing well, with just a few little bumps. He had his foley catheter and chest tube removed. He has decided not to pee much since the catheter has been removed though. They will continue to monitor that closely. We are hoping that his kidneys will decide that they need to get to work and start getting rid of the extra fluid. He is still pretty sleepy. He does really well for a while with his breathing and so they turn down that ventilator, then he decides he's tired, so he sort of slows down on breathing. They are going to try to wean him again tomorrow morning around 5 AM, and see how he does. We are hoping that if his kidneys get going, they will help clear any of the meds out of his system which will in turn help him to wake up more and breathe better.
He is such a trooper. He is a fiesty little guy and gets mad at them when they do things to him he doesn't like. He just doesn't realize that he turns blue when he does that, so who's showing who?
We are so very blessed! Alex continues to teach us so much about Heavenly Fathers love for each of us. We are all truly loved and considered precious spirits to our Heavenly Father. Thank you to all of you for your continued thoughts and prayers. Please continue to pray for sweet little Alex and Sam. We know that our Heavenly Father hears and answers the prayers that are offered.
