Ok, his chest is officially closed and that went well. Now there are several adjustments being made in regards to medicines and the ventilator. Today and tomorrow will be full of ups and downs and several adjustments. They have began the drugs to help wean him off the morphine. They will also begin small feeds through a feeding tube to see how his tummy handles it. His stomach area appears very swollen and tight. They said his liver is swollen and his stomach appears to be full of gasses. The swollen liver is apparently very common and they hope with the feeds both will improve. The rest of his body looks good and pink! He is doing great and we are just waiting to see how his body adjusts.
Thank you all again for everything. I love the comments, emails and texts we receive. It is like you are all right here with us.
