Recovery - November 2, 2013

Owen rested well overnight.  He continued to rest and sleep most of the day today.  He finally started waiving his arms and getting cranky late this afternoon.

His liver made slight improvement today.

His urine and stool output were very good yesterday and overnight.  He is down to 5lbs. 12oz. now.

They did another ECHO on him today.  They are just checking to see if something is going on with his heart that would prevent him from being extubated.  Preliminary results were great except he seemed a little on the dehydrated side.

We got the stomach area ultrasound results from the other day.  Organs looked good or getting better.

He does have an infection and his throat was very red when they intubated again last night.  He is coughing up a little blood.  These things may have affected his attempt yesterday.



Praying for:

Kidneys to function better

Liver to function better

Adrenal glands to function better

Bones to grow stronger

Lungs to function better

Infections to stay away

Eyes to work correctly

Heart problems to heal
