Every breath you take - Saturday, March 20, 2010

We got to see Parker's face today! He was taken off the ventilator around 2:00 this afternoon. He is still somewhat sedated- but he's trying to open his eyes. We feel good about his cardiac function progress. However a small setback came this evening when Parker may have had another slight seizure. The neurologist checked him and thought it was very borderline. Hopefully we will know more in the morning.

What we know so far...
~ Parker is extubated and is doing well from a pulmonary standpoint.
~ Cardiac function seems to be stable and possibly improving.(Mean arterial pressure averaging 40)
~ Parker may be having seizures. (EEG evaluation is pending)
~ Phenobarbitol level is 27 mcg, Neurology resident wants a therapeutic level of 30
~ Fentanyl was discontinued early AM.
~ Color and cap refill look good.

We are blessed to have our family visit tomorrow- WITH Spencer! We have missed him so much and cannot wait to spend the day with him. We look forward to the day we can have our entire family together- Daddy, Mommy, Spencer, Parker and Brooklyn. Please continue to pray that day will come soon!

    Jenny and Jeff just wanted to let you know that you guys are still in our prayers. Can wait to see Parker at home. Told Beverly yesterday that the kids and I would be more than happy to keep Spencer for a few days if need. You know that he would have a good baby sitter with Emily. Brooklyn is always welcome to stay her too. Love you guys. Christy, Derek & Emily
