Alright, so I have not updated in a while. There is a lot to discuss, but I will try and make it somewhat short. First off a few days ago I got to suction Pierce for the first time. It was nerve wracking, but worth it cause I am going to have to do it going forward. Then Monday, after having watched him for almost a week, the doctors looked at his blood gases and hematicrit (sp?) And determined that he would need blood, so that night they got home set up with a transfusion. He had looked fairly pale and then when we came in the next day, he looked pink. Positive results.
Then yesterday, he first trach change...630 a.m. Nicole was here, I was not. The doctors said that his trach looked good. There was a little raw skin at the stoma site, but over all it looked good. And they changed it out.
All is going well right now. They have taken him off the versed...that happened this morning, and they are weaning him off the morphine. This is all positive news and we cannot wait for him to come home.
Some pictures over their last few days are below.
Praying he is home very soon! :)
