Will is hanging in there.
They haven't been able to wean anything. His ventilator settings are the same. He is still getting the same dosages of dopamine and epi (blood pressure meds). His chest x-ray from this morning showed no changes... it will take time for his lungs to improve and heal.
Will's chest tubes have been removed since they haven't been draining anything. The drain they installed yesterday seems to be draining pretty well. He is still very swollen... it looks so painful! To address this, they started him on a lasix IV drip and increased his dosage of diurel.
So far, his blood and spinal fluid cultures haven't grown anything. I pray that it stays this way.
As always, I will keep you posted!

And we pray, pray, pray that God will give strength to you marvelous and exceptionally strong kids who are going through this, the most testing of-you-faith-times of your lives....so hang in there and lean on God for strength !!! He will carry you through, Stephanie and Josh !!

much but God is in control and
keeping you all in His loving arms.
You all are in one of God's deepest
valleys and we know it is very hard
to cope with each day but somehow He gives us the strength to keep
us going.
You both are wonderful witnesses
for us all, and we can't express
what it means to read your blogs
and updates each day. We have our
computer tuned in so as to hear the
very latest on Baby Will's condition. The pictures are just
precious and he is so beautiful.
Thanks soo much. Our love, hugs and kisses, Gina & Pops
