I want to try and get something updated here before the day gets going. JM got extubated about 1PM yesterday afternoon. It has not been easy for him, but he is improving. About 3:30 he had an episode that he either had a slight seizure or he held his breath and passed out. One way or the other it was not fun to watch. He seems to be bouncing back from that as well. No repeat performances thank goodness. As far as we know he has never done anything like that in the past and hopefully he will not repeat.
They have him in a stroller overnight. It keeps him upright and his vital signs have been good. He is off all oxygen support this am and his sats at 100%. That is good to see. He has eaten anything yet, so hopefully he will show interest in that soon.
The bleeding seems to have stopped. His Hemoglobin seems stable at 8. He was 13 prior to his first surgery. They didn't check one prior to this surgery. When he started bleeding in the PACU he was 9.9 and by the time he was out of surgery he was 6.9. So 8 is good for now. He looks pale, but cute!
OK I need to get a shower. Hopefully we will get moved out of the PICU today. I will try and post again with any major changes.
Thanks for all the prayers. I can feel your support.
