Ethan had a pretty good night last night! We were only up once last night from 2-3:30am. He held his O2 sats in the mid90s. For the other 2 surgeries, sometimes his O2 would dip lower while he was asleep so this is a huge improvement & welcome change!
Pray for more improvement today in the area of drinking/ eating. They still have him on clear liquids for the morning & supplementing with IV fluids. We hope to drop the IV & start on solid food later today.
Also pray for bravery for Ethan because they want him to sit up more & even stand/walk - both of which he's scared will hurt.
We also think he will get his middle chest tube out which should help his discomfort & fear of sitting/standing.
Finally, pray that he's doing well enough to move out of ICU & up to the cardiac floor. That partly depends on how well he can eat/drink/move around but also is hugely dependent on there being a room available for us.
Doctors are doing their rounds this hour & we have some family coming to visit this morning so we probably won't have another update until noon or so.
