Dips in the plan

Heart kids are tricky and they follow their very own agendas. Last night at about 10:15 Alex went on c-pap and was just not being a good breather. Then at around 1:oo am he was vented again. They were able to bag and suction out some major plugs which is good but he will need to rest today... They FINALLY got him to pee pee, so when i walked in this morning the first thing I noticed is how much he starting to look more like Alex and less like the Michelin Man. I brought up a couple more home comforts for him and I am washing the few things he already had so that they will stay nice and infection free.....We thought Ry would be able to come in and see him yesterday... She will soon enough. I am sure Alex felt her spirit in the PICU waiting room... She was happy to play in the playroom. He went back up on some of his meds and they will try the ween all over again...I understand these ups and downs and feel confident he will be well when it is time...So for today we hang out and rest........

Hey Homers!
I am so glad things are going okay. I have been thinking of Alex for the last week! I will continue to pray for him.
