Pink is our favorite color right now! All of Kade's extremities are pink and warm!! They are still slowly weening him off of blood pressure meds, we are getting closer and he is tolerating it pretty well. He is still on his paralytic holiday, and has not shown any movement, but his pupils react "briskly" same as you or I.
The surgeons were just in, and will replace the wound vac as planned sometime today. All of the Drs have commented on how much better he looks, so that is encouraging! He is still a very sick little boy, but we all feel that he is on the right path.
OT, Occupational Therapy, also stop by this AM and gave mom a lesson on keeping our boy limber. He seemed to react to us messing with him by looking at his numbers. So far it has been a busy morning! We are waiting for rounds to discuss the plans for the day. I suppose we will continue as we have been with weening off blood pressure meds, urine output, and just keeping it boring.
We are hopeful that the week holds many small victories that allow the Drs and Surgeons to look at a schedule of moving back to a conventional ventilator and closing his belly.
