Just a quick update on our Joshua. He is off the VEC now. He woke up and gave me a couple small smiles not huge big happy ones but smaller ones. The kind of smiles that say to mommy "I just don't feel too well." I enjoyed them none the less. He is pretty heavily sedated but woke because they were doing his chest pt.
The cultures came back and the H-Flu is again rearing is ugly head. UGH. They started the "just in case" antibiotics Saturday and we have a feeling that is why he is doing better. They are going to do a study to see what the best course of antibiotics will be. Those results won't be back until tomorrow. Chris (she is a fellow in the ICU) came in and said she is still not happy about where he is but we just need to keep plodding through. The consensus of the cardiac conference was to not forward with the glenn now. That was before they found out that he has H-Flu again, so good decision.
His left lung was a little less hazy on today's ex-ray but the right lung is worse.....well it was never yucky and now it is. So we are back the waiting and recouping.

There is a new slideshow at the bottom of the page. I found a tool that I like much better than the other one.
