Weekend comes to an end

Julie and I spent some time at our house in Knightdale on Saturday. It was nice to be home again. Hopefully next time we go home again, Ethan will be with us.

Ethan's heart continues to do well. He is down to only one heart medicine (Digoxin) which he takes orally two times a day. As long as his heart remains in good shape, the next milestone he needs to work on is eating as much as he needs from the bottle consistently. We've already seen an improvement in his eating over the weekend.

He is actually doing well enough to move him out of the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) into the CICC (Cardiac Intermediate Care Center). That is a good thing, although we feel he is very safe in the PICU because his nurse is only assigned to him and one other baby.

His EKG showed normal rhythms today. So they'll likely move him out and up the CICC floor tommorow.

Yayy! I'm so glad things are going well for you guys. Nathan & I are praying for you and hoping that there are no more setbacks and (as you said) that the next time you go home, Ethan will be with you :).
