Monday 2nd Update

I just talked with the neurology team and they said that the EEG this morning showed no seizures!!!

They have increased his dosage of phenobarbital, and they'll keep a close eye on him. Praise God!!

Other than that, Will is still doing well. He is off of his milrinone drip, and he is still on a low dose of dopamine. They have removed his foley catheder and one of his picc-lines. The fluid coming out of his remaining chest tube has slowed down quite a bit, so hopefully it will come out soon as well.

I think that I am going to have a head full of gray hair by the time I'm 30! I found 6 grey hairs this morning as I combed it. I guess that's better than Josh... he won't have any hair!!

    We're so thankful for this improvement in the news. I'm not surprised at lost or graying hair. Y'all have been through more in the last few months than many people go through in a lifetime.
    I'm closing my eyes and remembering the last time I hugged you...am sending that thought.
    Love

    Hang in there Stephanie and Josh! We know that Will is a fighter, and keeps surprising us. Hopefully he'll get you back to that mild Tenesee weather before we have another cold snap.=)

    PS....

    I think it was Josh's grandaddy who once said God only made so many perfect heads, and he covered the rest with hair, so he will be in fine company if and when....and silver becomes us, Stephanie!

    indeed, grey hairs are a Mother's Crown. We are continuing to lift Will up in prayer. Yay for the PICC-line removal! keep the faith.
