T.K.O!





So, it took hours to get to this state of completely knocked out. He was on quite the cocktail of meds to keep him sedated and still. 5 meds later, they've finally got the right mix and the right dose and he's been asleep since about 8:30.

They have him in a regular bed, which is so strange. Seems a little dangerous, but this is apparently what they do! I'm not used to him being this quiet, it's strange!

He's sporting the Richard Simmons sweatin' to the oldies headband... pretty snazzy. (Don't be jealous now!)I think I'll try to keep that for a ski band next year in the snow for him!
So far, we've been able to stay off the ventilator (or bi-pap), lets hope it stays that way. (For all you trachy parents) He's requiring about 1.5 L of 02 at 30% to keep his sats up on mist collar, which isn't terribly unusual considering the sedation I'm told. What do you think, yay or nay? Off 02, he's only at 92-94. His respiratory rate is like upper teens-25. Not great, not awful.
Anyways, we just wanted to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and prayers... and thanks to Craig for driving all this way to spend the day in this lovely city (that apparently tried to keep you here with their traffic! Sorry!)

  5. I didn't know you had a blog for Micah. I have been reading it and wow, you are one tough momma with a tough little guy. He is soo precious. Glad things are going well with his latest surgery. He looks so tiny in that big bed, I just want to scoop him up and hold him. I will say an extra prayer for you!
