More is all we are hearing from Sam, he is wanting to drink constantly! I am sure it is because we have been diuresing him so much, but he has been very fiesty about wanting to drink. We have to be careful because he is on high flow oxygen and sometimes that can make them aspirate easier. So we have these pink swab things on a stick that we dip in water, and he sucks on them til the water is gone and spits them out demanding, "MORE"! We are hoping the medication we switched him to today will help clear his lungs up a bit while serving the purpose of the drug we took him off of, which keeps his blood pressure and heart rate down. If this does the trick it is a medicine that can then be switched to oral doses. We are making some good progress!
Brayden's surgery went well today and he was already off the vent, awake and talking this afternoon! I give God praise for having his hand on him!
