Brody was having problems maintaining his blood oxygen levels so they put him back on oxygen (not a whole lot) . He also had his fever spike about 6 pm and this was raising his heart rate. so he got another dose of Tylenol. His fever is gone now and his heart rate is back to normal.. Everything else looks good. His incision is pretty painful when he coughs... The nurses want him to try to cough occasionally to open up and clear his lungs.
Still hoping he gets out of the PICU today, .. It's not very restful for him with all the other patients machines beeping every few minutes.
Like last night, I went to sleep about 8 pm last night and Trish stayed up with him til about 3 am. I'm with him now and Trish is sleeping now.
Another bit of good news is they lifted the visitor restrictions due to the Flu risk at the hospital on Friday (no one under 18 was allowed to visit) so Geordi and Jaden were allowed to visit with Brody... Brody got a kick out of telling his brothers about his funny morphine dreams he's been having. We were getting by with video chats via the boy's tablets before this... They have pretty good wifi at the hospital.
Brody is still sleeping alot of the time, just wakes often.
That's really all to report... Thanks for everyone's prayers, thoughts, and all the other support we've gotten from friends and family.
Bill
