Yesterday Gerad was moved upstairs to a step down room. It has two nurses attending to four children. Marvin and Hannie got to hold him yesterday and they were ever so excited! They had to tube feed him last night as he seemed to have a stuffy nose and therefore had trouble breathing.
This morning he was awake and calm for a while just looking around. They held him again and next time he wakes up they get to take him in a stroller.
Chest tube and pacemaker wires might be coming out today! Hopefully neck line tomorrow; it's in there just in case they need it for bloodwork or medication.
He still has the oxygen tubes in his nose and they are trying to wean him off, but his oxygen level keeps dropping. That could be because of his lazy lung.
Marv and Han did have to go to a hotel last night since there was no room for them in the hospital. Hannie said that it is nice either way. When they stay at the hospital they are close to Gerad, but when they go to the hotel, they both get a good nights rest.
God is Good and He continues to show how fearfully and wonderfully we are made. Our bodies are able to go through so much, yet keep right on fighting to heal and recover. Yes, God is Good!
