Santa's Little Elf
Great Grandparents Jim & Parrie Perdue meet Will for the first time.
Will had another great day yesterday. I got to hold him for most of the afternoon. Being able to hold him is such a gift!
They were able to wean his rate down to 8, but they want to wean down his pressure support a bit before they do his sprints.
Also, the follow-up ultrasound from Tuesday showed that Will had another clot near his kidney. The doctor said that the clots are not blocking anything, which is very good. They have started him on a blood thinner which they hope will help. The biggest concern is that the clots could get loose and move to the lungs, brain, or heart, which could be a big problem. They are going to keep a close eye on it by doing ultrasounds every couple of days to see how they progress.

There's nothing that can take the place of a closer look...and it sure was awsome just to be able to stand by Will's bed & look at him !

What a wonderful Christmas present! I can't wait for my turn to hold him, too. It was great getting to see you all last weekend, and we look forward to seeing you here in Memphis on Christmas. You all are amazing.
Loads of love,
