Thursday Morning Update

I can't believe it is Thursday already- I don't know where the time goes! Ramsey is still doing well. They removed his catheter yesterday and I got to change two diapers all by myself. For now, he will have no more Lasiks (diuretics). They weaned his Nitric Oxide again by 5 and also weaned his morphine. He needed a little sedative overnight for some shunting. He looks a little uncomfortable at times, but who could blame him with all the tubes he has. I will feel better once he is extubated. They may start feeding him some breast milk today, through a continuous IV. I hope that goes well and that he has another exceptional day!

    This is all such great news! It had to be just awesome to get to hold him! You are in our thoughts and prayers. I will say that a G-tube is alot better than a NG tube. NG tube for Alea caused alot of reflux, the G-tube caused none. Alea was a different baby when the NG was out and the G-tube was in. She was alot happier.
    Take care,

    Thanks Chad- I was thinking of Alea and wondering what type of tube she had.

    YEAH!!! What great progress. My Charlie only had an NG tube and he never had any reflux. He hated all the tubes and they tried to wean his morphine too soon after surgery so he was really uncomfortable. He didn't seem that bothered by the NG tube just the ET tube and the rapogal(spelling?) Once those were gone the feeding went really well, slow but well.

    Oh and I wanted to add, we were told the same thing about Charlie's lung size (very small) and now at 11.5 months it is fully inflated and perfect. Just want you to keep hearing positive stories!!!

    When my folks saw the picture of Ramsey with all the tubes, it brought back a flood of memories for them with me. I almost died at 3 weeks of age from a rare form of menengitis. They said if I survived, I could be deaf, blind, retarded, you name it....but my mom still remembers the day when she went into the doctors office and he said "nothing wrong with this little girl". I'm 47 today. Praying you get a great report for Ramsey for the future as well. Miracles can and do happen!!!
