Updatde.......

Well things aren't going as well as I want them to. Rhett is still on the vent, and they have actually had to up his support. But they say with the aspiration it gets worse before it gets better. His lungs are really inflammed from the acid that was in his stomach. He is really sedated and I hate it so bad. They say once he gets off of the vent he will do really well. I hope so. I just don't want to get my hopes up. I don't know how much more dissapointment I can take.

He went down to imaging today to have an NJ tube placed, and they were able to look at his repair for his hernia, and they don't see any damage from the chest compressions so far. So there is one peice of good news. We stil are not a hundred perent sure, but time will tell.

He is so puffy, and it is so hard to sit there and watch him knowing that things didn't have to be like this. I have asked if his pulmonary hypertension would make his recovery harder, and they don't seem to think that it will. The nurse that did this to him is still up there working and it is so hard to see her everytime we walk in. We finally asked the social worker to move her to a different part of the unit so that we didn't have to see her. I think the first two days I was numb and now I am just so sad. I just don't know how to deal with it. We can't leave the hospital because we are afraid to.

They just keep talking about extubating tomorrow, and then tomorrow rolls around and they push it to the next day. This emotional roller coaster is just killing me. I don't want to get my hopes up for anything anymore, yet I am trying really hard to be positive. I know that it dosen't sound like it, but he had a blessing, and we were told that everything would be fine, and I really do belive that I know that god is going to take care of him. He is my little man and he is going to be ok. I have this huge thing called faith, and I think it is just going to take a little time for his little lungs to recover. Once again, thank you so much for all of the outreach and support that we are getting. We love each and everyone of you, and can't wait to post good news so that all of you can share in our happiniess. Thank you for all of your prayers.
