A little bit of this, a little bit of that...

We don't have too much to report yet. We have consulted with the ENT docs. They are going to do his bronchocope on Wednesday. In the meantime, we are sitting ducks. I have asked that the intensivists come up with a weaning plan to lower the sedation drips that Nathan is on. Bottom line, I want to set him up for the best success that I can to get him extubated. They completely agree, so are working on that. They are doing another ECHO today to review the leakage of the pulmonary valve, sigh. I so wish this hadn't have become a problem. However, it is what it is.

His heart rate continues to be on the lower side (70-80s), but I think this is a direct result from all of the sedation. They are increasing his tube feeds and that is going so, so. The good news is that he pooped! Yep, always happy to hear that things are moving in the right direction. So, for now, we wait and pray that Wednesday they don't find anything wrong with his airway and that they are magically able to extubate him...and he stays extubated.
