Day 123- Update

We successfully extubated him a little before noon. It looked a little sketchy in the beginning, but he seems to have settled down a little bit. His respiratory rate is still all over the place, but we're praying that evens out as the day progresses. He's still in a lot of pain, which could be part of the reason he's having trouble with his breathing. I probably won't start breathing myself until he makes it to through today without being reintubated. Once we pass the dreaded nine-hour mark (when he's had problems in the past), I may relax a little bit. Please say a little prayer for his healing and comfort... He's a tough little man, but he could use an extra lift today.

  2. It is SO good to hear good news!!! I pray that Holden gets through this tough period with NO setbacks related to heart or lungs, infection or illness. I pray that you parents get some much needed rest and relief from all the worries associated with the vomiting. Now I pray that the focus will be getting healthy enough to await that heart Holden needs at home. Blessings!!♥
