Easton had a good night last night.  They took his arterial line out this morning so he only has one line left.  Hope to be heading home this weekend but depends on how he eats.  His throat is very sore from the suctioning that was done and it made his throat raw.  He has done pretty well this morning while I have been here.  Eating was the focus for today, and so far we are off to a good start.  He is now also canula free!

Easton had a good night last night.  However when I got to the hospital this morning he felt a little was and was borderline running a fever.  They decided to give him an antibiotic and think it may be the start of an ear infection.  By the afternoon he was back to his old self even smiling at some of the nurses:).   I finally got to hold him today as I haven't held him since last Thursday.  Tyler came over and he smiled at him today and that made Daddy feel very good:).  Hoping that he sleeps well tonight.  Think he may be getting his days and nights mixed up.  Thank God for his continued healing!  Blessings to all.

Easton had another good night.  Tyler and I were able to be there when they took the ventilator out today.  Right now he is on a regular flow canula.  Depending on how he does with this, they may try feeding him in a few days.  If he doesn't tolerate it well then he will need to go to a high flow canula.  Praying that all goes well and that he stays on the regular flow canula.  He is currently on IV food.  So he is getting nutrition ,but has an empty belly.  God is good!

Last night Easton had a good night.  They took him off them paralytic so he is starting to twitch.  The Doctors are very happy with how he is doing.  He has a small stenosis in the pulmonary artery but nothing of great concern.  Just a small narrowing of the pulmonary artey.  He still looks great.  We are very blessed to have such great care.  God is good.

Easton had a good night or he"behaved himself" as Dr. Fotuna puts it.  His oxygen levels are at 98 which is great.  He looks very good.  We found out today that during surgery they take his body temp down to 64.4 degrees.  They are still trying to keep him cool today and will slowly start waking him up tomorrow.  He is on 45% oxygen and had an echo done this morning.  We are praying that looks good.  Thanks for the contined thoughts and prayers.
