Will is doing well. He had a head ultrasound yesterday that showed the brain bleed had not progressed... a very good thing. Also, they did another EEG for an hour and it showed that he is not having any seizures, so they can take him off the Dylantin.
Since his chest closure Will has a lower urine output, which is normal after this procedure. His doctors decided to restart his dialysis this morning to help him get rid of all his extra fluid.
The next step is getting Will weaned from his ventilator. So far, they haven't had too much luck with this, but today is another day. You can't rush it!! When he is off the ventilator, they will start feeding him, and then he will move to moderate care and out of intensive care!! We hope this will happen before Josh leaves Sunday afternoon, but we will have to see.

Uncle Joe and I were just talking on the phone and wondering how little Will was getting along today. What wonderful news! We're praying today that he can come off the ventilator. God is good -- all the time!
We're with you in heart and spirit.
Love and hugs,
Uncle Jay

We all appreciate your ability to keep those of us at a distance so appraised of Will's continued positive progression... To say that the three of you are at the forefront of all our thoughts and prayers would be an understatement... We anxiously await the continued string of good news and your return home...

So Glad to Get Good News!! I just got today's news. It has been a very, very long day back at school today as I couldn't be there "to hear" the results as they were
given. Not to mention, I can't access BLOG spots on the school server.
Baby Will is such a fighter! I am so glad I have good strong visions of him interacting with you both,
following you with his eyes and holding on to your finger!
He has come a long way this week - alone - and I am certain he will continue next week.
Josh & Stephanie - You have done an awesome job dealing with the unknowns on a day to day basis. I am so very proud of both of you!
We are all so blessed to have Baby Will in the very best spot inn
the whole world. Never have I witnessed the level of
professional care by his nurses and doctors. God is in full
control and He's doing an unbelieveable job!
Love,
Mom
