Just so you know we are making a room change as they need the isolation room. I don't know what room we will be in but I will update you as soon as we get settled. We will probably be sharing a room with someone.
Joshua is doing SO WELL this afternoon. His O2 sats are in the low 80's!! They are going to leave him as is and start some more weaning tomorrow. Dr Jefferies came in and said that they are not going to take him off the vent yet but they will work on getting him closer to that direction. He just keeps coming in and saying that he is glad that he is doing so much better but he sure wishes they knew by he bounced around. He is pretty sure it is just because he was sick. He had a couple weird things with this blood pressure in the last hour or so but nothing else is affected so we think maybe he just moved his arm and kinked the arterial line. Other than that he is doing so well. He has had a lot of awake time today without getting all restless so that is SUPER! GO JOSH GO! :)

UPDATE:
*****We are in Room 4268-2 This is the room that we started our trip in. We were in -1 then though. We were in -2 when he came back to the ICU from the floor on the first trip when he had the Chylus Effusion. I like this room better because I sit on the couch next to his bed as opposed to behind it. Much easier to keep a good eye on him.
It is so funny to see the nurses oggle him so much. Of course I think he is the cutest thing but all the nurses really like him. Having him turned around in his bed has caused quite the commotion. (Usually that signals that they will be going on ECMO.) Of course this is NOT the case with Joshua it just happened that he was turned around in his bed. Now we just switched rooms and we have had several nurses asking where he went. His nurse earlier today was Maree. She is super. We had her a few times the week that James was here. She just had a friend come meet her for lunch and she brought her up here to look at how cute Joshua is. :) When he is able to be held I will have to find her so she can hold him. She has wanted to pick him up so bad. Of course that will be after I had my fill...It has been 3 weeks since I have been able to hold him. :(
Well off to get some supper.
