Thursday...

Well, today marked one week here at Doernbecher Children's Hospital... We are hoping we are more than halfway to getting to go home. The cardiologist just came in and told us that we might be able to move to the recovery floor tomorrow! (But we have heard this before, many times)

Not many changes today. They ended up placing him back on the pacer last night, but it was unplugged again this morning and he is doing well again. Some blood work was done and yes, he does have bacteria in his blood somewhere, but they have started him on antibiotics and he is showing zero signs of bad infection. The line in his neck was also removed... mostly because that was discovered to be the source of infection.

Little by little, day by day, lines are removed, progress is made and we are taking baby steps towards going home. We miss everyone back home so much. He talks about wanting to play with our neighbor Sam and with his kitty. He misses his bed and his baths at night. I just miss being able to hold him. I am able to lay next to him in bed, but still not able to actually hold him.

Cross your fingers that we can be home within a few days!
